> There was no plausible pathway by which the Internet didn’t become commercialized. Blaming “commercialization” for the Fall of Eden is like building a shoddy bridge that collapses, and then blaming gravity for it: if you didn’t take into account the inevitable, omnipresent force, that’s on you.

All bridges will collapse eventually, but we blame the people who build shoddy bridges, not the people who build bridges that someone else comes along and willfully knocks over. It was inevitable that the internet would decay, but not this quickly, nor into this state.
