Despite the popularity of 'Sips Tea,' many believe the internet is actually getting worse. And you don't need to look far for examples that support their case.
Nowadays, online searches are largely made up of "cookie cutter" pages that drown out useful information and are saturated with scams and content generated by artificial intelligence (AI).
While your social media feeds are full of eye-catching, provocative, hyper-targeted, or anger-inducing content, often with robot-like comments.

So Much Time Wasted
Marc Cheong, who is a Senior Lecturer of Information Systems (Digital Ethics) at the School of Computing and Information Systems, and Associate Director at the Centre for AI and Digital Ethics (CAIDE) at the University of Melbourne, Australia, and Wonsun Shin, an Associate Professor in Media and Communications at the same establishment, believe that a major factor contributing to the current state of the internet is its over-commercialization. Simply put, financial motives drive much of the content. According to them, it has led to the prevalence of sensationalism and prioritizing virality over quality.

Another driving force, the academics say, is the dominance of tech giants like Google, Meta, and Amazon. They reach billions worldwide and wield immense power over the content that we consume.
"Their platforms use advanced tracking technologies and opaque algorithms to generate hyper-targeted media content, powered by extensive user data," Cheong and Shin explain in their article. "This creates filter bubbles, where users are exposed to limited content that reinforces their existing beliefs and biases, and echo chambers where other viewpoints are actively discredited."

"Bad actors like cyber criminals and scammers have been an enduring problem online. However, evolving technology like generative AI has further empowered them, enabling them to create highly realistic fake images, deepfake videos, and voice cloning," Cheong and Shin added.
AI generated content has also flooded the internet with low-quality, misleading, and harmful material at an unprecedented scale.

AI generated content has also flooded the internet with low-quality, misleading, and harmful material at an unprecedented scale.
So, the researchers believ accelerated commercialization of the internet, the dominance of media tech giants and the presence of bad actors have infiltrated content on the internet. The rise of AI further intensifies this, making the internet more chaotic than ever

These things make the internet very different from what it used to be. Many of us might remember it as a free egalitarian space, where people were meant to "surf" and "browse." Even the early social media platforms were built on reconnecting with long-lost classmates and family members.

Good for them. He is another loathsome pile of excrement. However, BP seems to have a perverse attraction to him when none of us want to see him or his weirdo-ness.
So what is there left to preserve, since 'Sips Tea' is taking care of the individual gems?
Cheong and Shin said our focus should be privary. They recalled a New Yorker cartoon from 1993 that states, "On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog" and highlighted that now, everyone – especially advertisers – wants to know who we are.

A few years ago, I prepared food for my niece's wedding party so there was food for when they were all getting ready. We had two serving times, the first with breakfast type items and the second with heavier foods. We invited the photographers and makeup folks to eat whatever and whenever they wanted to; all seemed surprised and grateful. I had no idea there were people who didn't feed the folks who were there to help make their wedding day special.

Lawful good: doesn't mess with the food, and makes sure nobody else does, either. Lawful neutral: does nothing. Lawful evil: cooks precisely ten grains of rice and half a shrimp and adds them to the container.
