Or, in more realistic terms, the internet is already mostly dead. Half of the stuff that should be available on clearnet or the visible web is now hidden in Discord chats. The hope lies in things like Gemini, Tor, and Freenet, but even there the braintrust is in Matrix.
I have this idea of a story where teenagers from the near future ditch the digital tech and start reading books in secret, meeting away from the adults to discuss what they read. The adults think that it's a cult of some sort, and that the books are dangerous, etc.

Maybe your Internet will be dead, but mine will be alive in the corners that corporats [sic] don't care about.

I think it’s in those corners, ignored by the big companies, that true innovation will be seen.
That innovation will replace them later

At the rate AI slop is taking over, I think 3 months is more likely.

Government ruined that too.
