"Abandoning is not the answer."

Why not? Simpler life like back in the 80s.

Even the 90s and early 2000s! The internet used to be way more endearing back then, with way more individually operated websites, blogs, etc.

Autoplay midis, blink tags, FFFF00 yellow text on an FFFFFF white background, terribly low quality jpegs.

What a twist that my regret is not that I have spent so much time of my youth on the internet but that I have not spent more time on the internet when it was still good.
