Interesting viewpoint. What do you think caused that?
If I start with your conclusion, then work backwards, I see AI/LLMs, monetization via ads (Google + ad tech), advertising corrupting the media it supports, SEO, search in general.
It became overly commercialized, so became primarily a way for companies to talk to people and other companies rather than people-to-people. Even social media, although it incorporates person-to-person communication, is mostly just the commercialization of it.
It's like we had a vibrant public square that was turned into a strip mall.
I suspect that we're mostly on the same page here.
