Decades from now, our children will look back on this time and wonder how we could be so stupid to think that all this software, costing billions to build, was being given to us for free by kind-hearted technology companies in exchange for a few simple ads. This is, and always has been a devil's bargain.
I was there at the beginning and I wish more than anything we could have saved the web from becoming this mutated monstrosity that is hurting our civilization so badly.

I'd imagine they'll think the same thing considering my nephews computer is a school provided chromebook. They're growing up with all the things we've slowly slipped into and will see no problems with it.
