it's probably partly a consequence of the internet becoming more accessible over the years, so you'll have a larger share of idiots ruining stuff for others. like all these services trying to make setting up your own brand as easy as possible, and i'm just thinking please no we don't need more of these obnoxious assholes shoving their mediocre lifestyle in everyone's faces.

i think if you can set up decent scum filters that get rid of the sludge and slime, you can be left with a pretty clear and pure bit of online content, but it becomes harder to do as people just keep pouring bucket loads of garbage into the pond

Lol I've semi-seriously thought about a system of (pneumatic? electromagnetic?) tubes to take on the increasingly large role of home delivery services. Instead of trucks and cars with humans manually delivering small packages, food, etc., we could just create a standardized tube system. Anything below a certain size can be shipped via tube, and only the big stuff requires an over-the-road solution. Then the only questions are how big should the envelope be and how much would it cost to install?

could also just be multiple people coming to the same conclusion independently, cause it's not such a leftfield thought i think. it's just the truth if you observe stuff honestly. i've thought about this as well, just never had the urge to make a post about it. same goes for a lot of stuff, people aren't that original most of the time
