I want them to win. The internet is stupid right now. A culture eating its own tail.

Pray tell, how would stepping closer to a dystopian hellscape help the internet from eating itself? Somehow, having omnipotent watchers is going to make the internet... more fun and welcoming?

I think he means that maybe it‘s for the best if „the internet“ in its current state dies, i.e. people move on from the current platforms towards other ones or real life.

That depends on what outcome you’re looking for. I want a fundamental change to internet right now, any change from the status quo is probably for the best.
