I don't understand the rational behind throwing away one of the most useful, most brilliant, and most valuable resource humans have created just because it has a few major problems. There's a strong argument in favor of fixing the problems, sure, but the world without the modern web would be significantly worse, not least because 90% of HN users wouldn't have jobs.

What resource are you talking about? Social media, or the internet?
Because the author clearly states that corporate social media are the problem, which I - and a lot of psychologists and sociologists - agree with.
What resource are you talking about?
The modern web (eg Web 2.0) is an open software distribution platform that forms the basis of hundreds of thousands of company's products. Social media is a part of that, and it needs fixing, but a return to Web 1.0 is not the solution.
