I don’t think people realize what keeping the internet running and producing most tech they use entails like. Physically, labor-wise, energy-wise.
Purposefully included some older articles here so people can see how baked in this is:
Labor Conditions of Content Moderators (2021)
Inside AOL's "Cyber-Sweatshop" (1999)
Digital Labor and Imperialism (2016)
Amazon Mechanical Turk: The Digital Sweatshop (2012)
Gig Economy, Algorithmic Control, and Migrant Labor (2022)
The Rise of Cyber-Coolies (2003)
Ecological Impact of Computation and the Cloud (2022)
The Environmental Sustainability of Digital Content Consumption (2024)
Carbon Footprint of the Internet (2010)
I think a lot of times I see people talk about this stuff in relation to AI. It's right to talk about it, but I hate when people act like AI is the only tech that has these problems. What you see with AI now is a reflection of the broader tech and internet industry that has grown for the past 20-30 years.

Jack was not an insecure man, he was a flirt, he dated a lot and he loved love. So why when he got into a relationship with Dennis Whitaker did he become so obsessed and aware of the age gap between them both
He felt old when they would watch something on TV and Dennis would casually mention that the show was older than him.
He felt old when Dennis would show him a tiktok that made him laugh but Jack didnt understand it.
He felt old when he read the text from Santos on Dennis's phone and he had no idea what it meant.
He felt old when Dennis got hard again after cumming but Jack felt like he needed a nap.
He felt old when they went out and people treated him like he was Dennis's dad or a creepy guy taking advantage of the younger man.
He felt old.
Dennis was young, he even looked younger than he was which didnt help, he had a lot of options. Dennis should be out at gay clubs instead of movie nights with Jack. Dennis should be getting high and drunk with friends not helping Jack cook their dinner. Dennis should be having random hookups, not cuddling in bed because Jack was too tired for sex.
Jack was holding him back.
It was during handover when Jack was going to greet his partner before he left when he heard the conversation between him and Santos.
"Come out tomorrow after the shift, its a cool club, you need to experience more gay clubs. Come on."
"No, its Jack's night off, im gonna be at his"
"Bring him too."
"No, he wont want to do that"
Because he was old and Dennis was young.
Standing next to the duo, wearing the confidence he didnt have, he slipped a hand around Dennis's waist.
"You can go if you want." It wasnt that Dennis needed Jack's permission but he wanted to ensure that Dennis knew he didnt mind.
"I want to spend the night with you."
"I can come too, wont be my first gay club"
Santos boasted in victory, the plans solidified in her mind as she walked around, a new pep in her step. Dennis still looked uneasy as he repeatedly checked that Jack actually wanted to go and they parted with a PG kiss.
The next night, Jack was on edge, they were at one of the few tables, Dennis sitting so close that their legs were almost fused together. It was the men he saw look at his partner all night, he even heard someone approach Dennis when they were at the bar, calling him a cute twink. The guy only looked to be a few years older than Dennis, which didnt help.
Jack felt old. The music was too loud, the alcohol tasted disgusting, the lights were too much, the music was also just terrible. Dennis refused to get up and dance, Jack had once again mentioned that he didnt mind sitting and watching but Dennis still refused, sitting next to Jack, drinking, getting drunk. A lot of people looked at Dennis, Jack couldnt help but wonder what they thought when they saw him, an old man, sitting next to him, touching him. They probably thought he was a pervert.
"I need the bathroom"
"OK."
Dennis may need the bathroom, but Jack needed medication for the migraine he was getting. To his surprise, Dennis pulled Jack with him, maneuvering them to an empty wall near the bathroom ans pushed Jack against it.
"Dont like them looking at you"
"What?" Jack was confused now. It didn't stop Dennis as he slurred his words.
"You are my old man. How old were you when I was born?"
Jack answered, his confusion overlapping his insecurity.
"What year did you become a doctor?"
"How old was I when you started med school?"
"Is my mom two or three years older than you?"
Jack answered every question, Dennis becoming more excited, trailing kisses up Jack's neck, thrusting his erection at him. Before Jack realised what was going on, Dennis wet the front if his own trousers, he had cum from dry humping his older partner in the grimy hall of a gay club.
How Jack got them both home, he doesnt know, he does know that Dennis was very handsy and needy when drunk as he kept reaching for Jack, he also kept trying to sneak his hand into Jack's pants.
He had finally got them both naked, laying in bed together as Dennis turned and stroked Jack's face.
"Your stubble is grey, its so sexy."
" what?"
"Its so sexy, I love the grey hair, the wrinkles, you're so fucking hot."
Every physical display of age seemed to be something Dennis was attracted to, it was what he wanted.
" you like me being older than you kid?"
"I fucking love it, i get this sexy older man all to myself, I fucking love knowing that you are so much older than me, its so hot. Tell me again how old you were when I was born?"
To prove his point, Dennis thrust his erect dick at Jack's thigh making the older man chuckle.
Maybe being older wasnt something to be insecure about, especially when he was going to reap the benefits of his age from his younger boyfriend tomorrow, when he sobered up.
Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?
Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.
Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.
Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?
Long collection of resources under the cut.
You're right that the internet is smaller than it used to be, but there's still some cool stuff left in the corners. I'd recommend checking checking out Neocities if you haven't--it's an independent web hosting platform like Geocities of the old web, and there are hundreds of interesting and active pages discoverable both through their search function and through web buttons (links attached to small pictures with the title of a website) within the websites themselves. Here are three examples of web buttons you may find in link pages:
Most Neocities websites have link pages or button collections with anywhere from tens to hundreds of these. Don't be afraid to explore!
If you're looking for something more like a search engine, I can point you towards Marginalia. It's not a particularly smart engine, but it's perfectly usable if you've ever been taught to use search engines back when they were mostly run through keywords instead of full sentence comprehension. There's also an "about" and "tips" section on the front page with more information. The algorithm of Marginalia can be filtered by the user to allow, disallow, or require JavaScript depending on your needs, plus there are filters designed specifically to prioritize web 1.0 sites or mostly text-based ones. It is possible to search for modern websites with it, but it can return websites from just about any decade (since the invention of the web, obviously) so long as they contain the information you're looking for. For example, here are some random interesting sites I've found using Marginalia:
Native Languages of the Americas: Native American Cultures
BASIC HTML COMPETENCY IS THE NEW PUNK FOLK EXPLOSION!
Earthbound Text Labs by Bill Eager
The possibilities for discovery are truly endless.
Now you might want to know about directories. These make browsing for websites easier, but require you to read through and judge which ones to visit, as there aren't algorithms ranking the sites besides the whim of whoever coded the directory. Some of them have themes, others don't. Here are two that I've used:
Yesterlinks Directory
Ichigo Directory
Directories can be harder to come by just by surfing the net, but they aren't impossible to find. Many personal websites have their own directories of interesting sites hidden within them.
Webrings are similar to directories, but are actually more community-based. You have to register your website to be a part of a webring, usually by sending an email to whoever runs it and meeting some kind of entry criteria. For example, my personal website used to be a part of a webring called Sweet Dreams, which was for websites that heavily utilize color palettes and images of cute things, particularly sweets. Webrings will give you access to a widget upon entry that allow visitors and other members to browse between the registered websites in a massive ring, ergo, where the term gets its name. Webrings can have any theme or criteria for entry. If you can make a website about it, you can find a webring for it.
Now, you might be wondering about social media alternatives. I can't offer much, but I can nudge you towards the idea of forums. Here's one I found that could really use some traffic. I also browse a bit on MelonLand forum, which is actually closed right now--it's currently closed on Mondays--but on any other day of the week, you can find a fun community there dedicated to web revival. You can find it through MelonLand's main page. I'd also recommend checking out SpaceHey, which is a MySpace clone that's customizable and easy to use.
I hope this is of some help to you. The internet may feel less magical than it used to be, but that doesn't mean that the spark has completely died out. These types of indie websites need more attention if we ever hope to reverse the damage done to the internet by centralization and corporate interest. People are trying to make the web a cooler place to be, but we're going to have to do the work of finding and interacting with these projects in order to get them off the ground someday.
ALSO you should consider browsing Virtual Pet List and seeing if there are any pet sites you might be interested in playing. There is a whole genre of browser games right under your nose
Another one that I just found recently is this, which is a whole collection of blogs, organized by topic!
A collection of 1,966 blogs about every topic
Look guys the real internet IS STILL THERE I'm going to cry

And it's amazing that you can find information that you looked for, just in the off chance, never expect ing that it would really be there.

This may be the best Pride merch I've seen from a major corporation.
Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.
And the assless chaps sold out on June 1.
They also specifically contacted members of the leather community, used them as models iirc, and donated $100k to Outright International. They talked the talk and walked the walk and put their money on it too. I don't really care that I can't afford and don't want this merch, I love to see my community getting the respect it deserves. Levi's said, "We make jeans which gays wear lots of jeans? Oh leather daddies? Let's call them."
I think Levi's donates to Outreach International every year too, as well as sponsoring pride events and other community support. They were offering Same Sex domestic partner benefits to employees in the 90s, and have been very public about their support for pro-lgbt legislation all through the 2000s.
So, you know, a giant corporation that walks the walk pretty consistently.

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

Diarmuid is aware of anatomy, of sinew and muscle, of the way God crafted man, but now he is aware in a completely different way. He thinks, So, this is how a man should look, and cannot stop looking at the Mute, whose naked chest and arms are thick and defined and covered in scars and with hair that is dark and curly and just as damp from sweat as the rest of him.
