Similarly I remember reading a comment on Slashdot in the late 90s warning how much of a dystopia the Web would become. I also remember myself mostly dismissing the comment as buzz-kill.

It's important to remember that those posts are only relevant now because of hindsight bias. If the web had moved in a different direction, we would be looking back on posts with different predictions with the same hindsight bias.
