The internet is so ingrained in our lives that, most of the time, we don’t even think about how much of our lives depend on it. If it disappeared, we would have a hard time doing a lot of things – from, for instance, reaching banks to simply having an endless source of entertainment .
Actually, the internet is such an advanced thing that it developed its own culture. But have you ever thought what will happen to both the internet and its culture in the future? After all, everything changes online very fast. Well, some people did, and they shared their opinions online. Today, let’s take a trip through some of these opinions and decide if we agree with any of them.
More info: Reddit
It will become so intolerable with the combination of ads, rage bait, censorship, and AI that people will start an offline movement.
daydreamstarlight , Will Francis Report
Its going to be an unusable propaganda funnel. just bots screaming recycled nonsense to at each other to drive engagement. probably less then a dozen English language websites for casual research. we had the greatest source of knowledge the human race has ever achieved and we let the least cool people ever ruin it.
Hot_Pass_1768 , Andrea Piacquadio Report
One word: censorship. If the creator of reddit, for example, would see what his platform has become, he would delete it. And it’s going to be even worse IMO, the whole internet. There is not much freedom anywhere, anymore. Remember the good old days pals, they will be just stories for future generations, we are lucky to have experienced, maybe, the freest place in human history, or the most freedom, on the internet of the 90s/2000s.

You already can’t trust text info, but image and video info is definitely going to get way harder to trust.
AuDHDcat , Google DeepMind Report
Human beings will begin to shift away from publicly accessible online content in favour of spaces where the people they’re speaking with can be verified as human, such as IRL spaces, private servers, and websites with sophisticated AI detection that we haven’t invented yet. Half the population will become increasingly suspicious of media and anything that risks having been touched by AI, while the other half will unknowingly or consciously embrace it as the new world order of “truth.”.
SeaofBloodRedRoses , panumas nikhomkhai Report
I think Gen Z and Gen alpha will realize drawbacks to having social media where you share your identity/connect with people you know. I think there will be a rise in normalizing anonymity and candidness on social media, such as Reddit, etc where you are less focused on an audience and an image, and just be more authentic.
aus-solopro87 , Tracy Le Blanc Report
Companies whose job it is to scrub the internet of old profiles, posts, and accounts are going to become very popular. We have entire generations documenting their lives online for everyone to see now. When some of those young people grow up and either enter politics or become famous, they are going to want to make sure those edgy racist and sexist jokes they made when they were 15 are not going to come to light.
ByzantineBasileus , Katka Pavlickova Report
Once social media eats it self to death i think the rise of forums and small owned forums will return. small forums has smaller numbers smaller numbers makes it easy to mod and the small mod team does have admins snooping to bannd hammer there subreddit/discord/groupchat. also the death of the free internet unless we rapidly switch to mix of decentralised/federated networks. servers cost money and ads just don’t cut it anymore either donate your bandwidth and cpu or cought up the money. i long wish for the days when social media dies.

Conglomeration. Fewer websites offering more on each. 20 years ago I would visit hundreds of sites every week. Now most days I only visit the same 4-5 I always visit.
skibbin , Karolina Grabowska Report
- Millions of dumb people are gonna be on the internet. 2. They’ll display their culture of hate and other lowly acts. 3. Communities will be run by these jerks. 4. Eventually will be bought by politicians and political parties to run their own narratives and suppress others’. 5. Bullying will become a thing and open threats will be entertained. 6. Criminals will use this infrastructure to do other crimes, peddle d***s right in front of our nose and feds’ eyes. 7. In the name of freedom of speech, people will talk about rubbish and taboo. Oh it’s already happening, haha.

All culture will be hollow, mimicked, fake. besides the censorship and cancellation.
GlobalistF*** , Anna Shvets Report
Everyone will have seen everyone else naked (via deepfakes, OF, or hacking).
meat_jenn , Andrea Piacquadio Report
So many dooming posts here. Sheesh. Haha Honestly? My guess is you’d have to treat it like a living organism that is constantly learning. Mankind will continue to impart our knowledge into it until the internet becomes obsolete. From that standpoint, it’ll grow, evolve, and form new adaptations for mankind to make lives easier. Maybe like, integration into synthetic biologics for remote monitoring and immediate medical interventions. Maybe something better than the internet will come along, at which point it either becomes a new type of phone book, or an archive of historical knowledge. In the immediate future, I’d put my long-term money on augmented reality. The possibilities there seem endless. From marketing, entertainment, and education, to communication, social networking, remote work, bla bla bla. Gonna need lots of the ol interwebs for that.

People will tag every social media post with anything that might trigger people. Or, posts that are jokes will be expected to have something like a “/s” tag.

I predict that in the future the words “internet” and “culture” will never be used in close proximity.
bluetree53 , Leon Seibert Report
The skibbidi toilet generation is gonna ruin the internet with pathetic memes that arent even funny.
Holiday-Shock-2220 , DaFuq!?Boom! Report
Lots of bots/AI yelling at each other. I honestly think we are heading for a social media reckoning that is years overdue. We really need to quash the rampant misinformation and I do think that the younger generations are better at spotting all the BS. I still can’t believe how bad it got in the mid-late 10s tho. One of the reasons I like Reddit so much is it reminds me of the old IGN forums before social media really went crazy. I honestly think ppl are sick and tired of the big platforms like FB and Twitter. Zucc diversified Meta so it’ll stick around but the dumpster fire that is twitter is only going to keep burning hotter till its gone as long as musk owns it and honestly at this point I don’t see any saving it.

Olympian Makes Stunning Admission After Judge’s Conspicuous Scores Ignite Cheating Accusations
Humans are creatures of habit. We all have a set of practices, good and bad, that affect how we spend our days and how we react to what life throws at us. We like our daily routines, and we like them to be… unsurprising.
Brains work as prediction engines, after all. We’re most comfortable when we know what to expect and when the situation we find ourselves in is familiar. It’s why most of us like to watch the same TV shows over and over again or eat the same meals so often. We want to know what’s coming down the line, and that’s why we consider new situations “out of our comfort zone.” While routines can give us a sense of cozy reassurance, they can also be limiting — especially when they get addictive. That’s where building habits enters the scene.
When it comes to mental well-being, we’re all looking for shortcuts, whether we realize it or not. We all want the secret formula that’ll make us feel relaxed and content without effort. But there’s no magic bullet for happiness. Instead, there are healthy habits that work together over time to improve your life and make it a little less stressful. And gosh, how much we need that!
That’s exactly what we’re going to talk about today. Here we are with a comprehensive list of good habits you can start working on right now to increase your mental well-being in the next 12 months. It’s a tough path, we’re conscious of that, but whether it’s taking care of yourself physically or mentally, these healthy lifestyle changes can make you feel fabulous, function better, and be happier in general. This is your sign — we’re on this planet for a limited time, after all, so why not make the most out of it?

A cue always initiates the habit loop. The undesirable habit starts when this trigger occurs. Pay attention to what your poor habit triggers. Knowing what triggers the behavior will enable you to respond effectively.

Use reminders because self-awareness is crucial for ending the cycle of unhealthy habits. Place reminders for yourself there where your negative habit tends to occur. This will encourage you to think twice before acting. For instance, post motivating sticky notes on your refrigerator to serve as a reminder to eat healthily.
