The “Internet is Dead” theory suggests that the internet, once a place of organic and free exchange of information, has now become a tool dominated by big tech corporations. Instead of user-driven, authentic content, the internet today is flooded with manipulative, artificial content designed to fit specific agendas. In its early days, the internet was a platform where people could freely communicate and share knowledge. But today, search engines and social media platforms manipulate what users see, leading to the claim that the original internet has “died.”

This theory highlights the growing need for decentralized technologies. This is where Nostr comes into play. Nostr is a decentralized protocol designed to revive the original spirit of the internet.

Nostr emerges as one of the communication tools of the future, offering an alternative to the constraints imposed after the “death” of the internet. It represents a crucial step towards reclaiming the freedom of information sharing.

I hope this awareness reaches more people.

Just read the abstract and didn't see this mentioned, but I believe the average user only visits 6-10 sites per day worldwide. Also saw something like only 3% of the Internet is even visited.

It's essentially Google/YouTube/WhatsApp, Facebook/Instagram, Twitter, Reddit and TikTok anymore. The traffic consolidation into the hands of big tech has been wild to watch.

In essence, this dead internet theory is not a scientific theory. It is actually a kind of conspiracy theory. The article I shared partially addresses the event scientifically and explains that the dead internet (conspiracy) theory has come true in a sense with the spread of algorithms working with artificial intelligence. There is no direct accusation against the central structure, but this is a conclusion that can be drawn. An article emphasizes the seriousness of the issue and I think we understand this because we are in nostr 😄🫡

Also, in the past, accessing the internet required some technical knowledge, and people with a certain level of knowledge could create content on the internet. This is a bit like natural selection in evolution theory. 😄

Sometimes, convenience can be our enemy, a little difficulty (understanding nostr) can provide an environment free of idiots.🤫
