Yes exactly. In what type of bubble does the author live? "Group Chats" predate the web. So how can they make the internet fun "again" when they have never stopped making it fun?

It's just a more fun and personal way to "be online" than regular Instagram/Facebook where there's the expectation of producing content and performing for your followers that you're living a good life, mixed with FOMO from others' posts. That's what group chats are being compared to. Bringing up IRC is a red herring since most people haven't heard of it and couldn't join if they wanted to.
