There are traces of that internet and my own collection of links is still enough to satisfy my reading and communication needs. I tried to explore Kagi's small web and there's a very small overlap with my list. Probably everyone should maintain their own reading/tracking list.

great point! It really feels like that, for me personally last years Ive been basically only via X, Facebook, Instagram.

And the general idea is that we got used to absorb content passively, instead of looking for it actively.
