"textContent": "The internet I grew up in no longer exists.\n\nThe internet, with its hyper-fast communication flows, was meant to enable the\nnew golden age for humanity. We were promised to have a global village where\ntribes transcend the limitations of geography. We could find our people\nwherever they were. Our ideas, our niche interests were supposed to connect us\nwith others in the vast network of nodes. If, only if, we can discover them.\n\nInstead, what we got is the commodification of communication. The connection\nthat was promised to us has been reformatted in terms of the market: \"How can a\npractice, experience, or feeling be monetized?\" Yes, discoverability is solved\nthanks to search engines and social media platforms. But now we connect, not to\neach other, but to the algorithm. We no longer contribute ideas to each other,\nbut to the circulation of the \"content\".\n\nWe must reclaim the cyberspace.",
