I think we'll see more stratification on the internet in the coming years with subscriptions, etc.

There's probably even a market right now for a paid version of reddit or HN.

The sad fact is that the internet has gradually become a shithole as the entirety of humanity has joined in.

Twitter, for example, is being dragged down by low quality user accounts that add nothing but noise. It's actively hurting the stock price.
