This made me sad, the optimist in me believes that some alternative will be built, that could take us back to those days. Honestly I do feel for most of my life I experienced an American Internet mostly (From South Africa), as long as one can still hop from one internet to another, in as simple a manner as possible it might not as bad as it could be.
I'm sad as well. To me it feels like we're already living in a cyberpunk nightmare, things just keep getting worse and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it.
