I'm the same age as you, and the web we knew is already dead, the parts that migrated to apps are in decline. For example, I can't see myself using reddit for much longer with the amount of bots that are on there now.
Yes, I felt the same. Most of us were too used to sites like Reddit and others. Reddit will end up like MySpace. X is prevailing, but check Facebook and others, they are completely dead, pure bots.
