The Stream
Is this the end of the internet?
This episode of The Stream asks: Is the internet as we know it on its way out?
The internet, which was made available to the public in 1991, has rapidly transformed, from a free, creative web to one consolidated by tech giants. Artificial intelligence now fills search results, smothering human voices, while social media has become a carousel of advertisements and AI content. Exhausted by doomscrolling, many creators are quitting the platforms altogether.
