Much of the south got here through Virginia, before New Englanders? Mayflower being first is a bit over sold. It’s a post civil war myth.

Agreed, but he’s a full on outrage agent.

“online, anger is a valuable resource that brings engagement, and solutions actually endanger that resource. unscrupulous actors exploit and develop that resource no matter the harm to the ecosystem”

Then what you in this analogy? BP? Where you pretend to be above the thing you are doing.

As a whole MillXennials are the savviest of web users mostly because we're more accustomed to navigating multiple sources- TV, YouTube, Radio, Podcast, Magazines Newspapers, Blogs, decentralized and centralized web

Other generations seem to take their primary mediums at face value and run with it.

I am one, though geriatric. I think the dividing line web culture are the mid generations, the 69+X and Xennials, the first of the web 1.0 into 2.0 culture frontier.

that's kind of the idea though, you could be more sheltered, even by obscurity, and that was the point, community. Web 2.0 had this notion that the "wisdom of the crowd" would save the world, pfft

The technology is better, more information but web culture was at least a bit better before it made it easier for the boomer and zoomer masses to get on here.

The barrier to entry kept a lot of the riffraff out, even when we were having “flame wars”

Also post IPO social media has been awful.
