The Dead Internet Theory - Why the Internet Is Getting So Much Worse

The video discusses the 'Dead Internet Theory' and how the internet is becoming worse due to factors such as spam-like media, fake traffic, algorithmic disconnect, and the rise of generative AI. It also highlights the shift from follower-based feeds to algorithmic ranking-based content distribution, leading to a disconnect between content creators and their audiences. The video suggests that the internet, as a source of unbridled human activity, died around 2016, with bots accounting for over half of all online activity. It concludes with a call for reasonable regulations around AI and internet media, and the need for users to be more discerning about their online activities.
