OTOH, we now have millions of Twitter users decrying how insufferable it is to choose a site among a list of domains; to not cater to the singular-ized App Store experience of App = Service.

The crystallization of that kind of sentiment could bring down the Internet, and I'd bet actors like Elon Musk are already positioning themselves to exploit it for nefarious ends.

With technology, there is always the question of irreducible complexity. You cannot use the Internet responsibly without navigating different sites. If too many ppl are insulated from that "cryptic" reality, the structure will come crashing down.

Ppl who demand that fleets of powerful machines answer their whims under those conditions are running with knives that are pointed in all directions. There is a line between convenient and dangerously dumbed-down.

It isn't elitism. Its expecting drivers to know what road signs mean before they step on the gas. #internetliteracy
