Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of the Left Podcast.

This is a sample of our recent bonus episode, usually only available to members.

These episodes are comprised of our crew of researchers, Amanda and myself all getting

together for a roundtable discussion on topics that we find interesting.

So here's a few minutes for free so you can know what all the fuss is about.

What I have felt for a while now, and this is, I'd say, over the last 10 years, is that

the internet is not for me.

Like I don't feel ownership of it, I don't feel like it's a place I can participate and

I have absolutely significantly reduced my input into it.

I still consume it, but I don't put stuff out there like I used to.

And it's really just a lack of interest.

Like I'm not really interested anymore in being part of this.

This crap culture does not appeal to me and I don't like need to be a voice in it.

Like I used to, in the earlier days of feeling this way, I still felt like, well, I want

to stand with other people who are saying good things about civil rights and justice

and whatever I need to add to that chorus.

And I'll be honest with you, I just don't feel like it's worth it anymore, which is unfortunate.

And I just think there are other ways I should channel that energy.

Now that's just me, but I wonder how many other people feel that way too.

There's like, I don't want to do it on the internet.

Maybe I'll try and do it in other ways, but I want to do it on the internet because this

place is garbage.
