Summary

The internet is getting worse. Google isn’t as helpful as it used to be, all of the best content is behind a paywall and the less said about X the better. But why is the internet getting so sh*t – and why do we simply accept it? Today in The Bunker, Jacob Jarvis speaks to tech reporter and writer of the Garbage Day substack Ryan Broderick about the sorry state of the internet in 2024. • “The only way to get ourselves out of this enshittification trap is to rethink what we expect from the internet.” – Ryan Broderick • “There's an urge to create something new online, but so far Crypto, the Metaverse and AI aren’t clicking with the masses.” – Ryan Broderick www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Jacob Jarvis.
