I think it's just going to get bad until everyone stops trusting anything that comes from a computer

That's fair, I just hope that's even possible? Most people can "feel" and somewhat understand that even without this they are being lied to and propagandized, yet, they still stare at it and parrot it in droves.

I'm just too pessimistic about the common man, as I should be I guess.

Well most people under 40 don't trust the TV news, yet people over 50 seem to trust it like it's God incarnate.

So I think a similar thing will happen with the internet, probably anyone born after 2020 or so will have a general distrust of the internet because they never saw the 1990s trustworthy version that we got trained on.

Just like I never saw the relatively trustworthy TV news of the 1970s that trained the boomers to trust the TV news even though it's so obviously untrustworthy these days. Old trust habits once learned are hard to break. My 2 cents.

Yeah that makes sense and plays out that way too.

Being online skews pessimistic tendencies in people, myself included.

Here's what I will say though, understanding it, being aware of it, even outright understanding every single negative effect it has on your liberty and future, does not equal action in most people. That's the problem I have with it.
