Wow…just wow. You just classified the greatest repository of all of human knowledge ever known as “and not much else”.
There is more to the internet than just social media. Yikes.

I think for the vast majority this sentiment holds true. Just look at your phone time app to see it’s true.
It’s the same sentiment as a library. Vast wealth of knowledge but most people are there to read comics or use the PCs to game online. I’d wager some very good and important books have only been touched by the library staff for decades. Yet if somebody said “libraries are basically pointless these days” I’d have to agree, yet your comment would hold true there as well.

But the reason “libraries are basically pointless these days” is because most of what is available at the library is also available on the internet.
For your point to hold, you would have to say that libraries were basically pointless 60 years ago.
Not to mention that the “repository of knowledge” thing is only one other part of the internet.

My point is the majority of people don’t see the value you see. To the majority this post is true. Not sure what the hell you thought my point was.
