Maybe it's just me, but most of the things that the Internet can currently do don't feel all that great. My interaction with the Internet is primarily an adversarial one: I have to make a positive (and normally unsuccessful) effort to avoid the hellscape of targeted advertising and rent seeking that all of the dominant platforms currently depend on for income. But at least I can buy junk online (and damage my local economy in the process); is that worth it?

And, for what it's worth, the Internet had protocol-level streaming well before it was fully commercialized[1].
