    Your post gives vibes of elitism… I don’t think your intelligence argument holds any water. The Internet of the late 90s/early 00s was easy to access.

    The difference from before is the advent of social media. The stupid have been on the Internet for a very long time now. But you would’t hear them much.

    I know we had bulletin boards before, but social media, particularly Facebook IMO, allowed more people to express themselves and gave everyone an audience.
