The Internet Used To Be A Home

When was the last time you felt at home on the internet?

The Internet Used To Be a Home

Now a days we tend to feel worse after spending time online instead of feeling better. But there was a time that things were different. All changed when Big Tech came into play. Now is the time to move out from Big Tech platforms to a better internet

Where did the door go?

Back in the 'old days' we saw an internet where we would click through pages, hyperlinks and websites. Now, we live in a endless stream of algorithmized content to keep you on Big Tech platforms as long as possible. The internet now feels rushed and overwhelming but it was never designed this way. It used to be a place where you could go to and leave whenever you wanted. Today we are constantly connected and kept there. The door we had to enter and leave the internet left, but it's hard to pinpoint when it left and where it went.

We feel nostalgic about the old internet. We often refer to it as 'the good old days' or 'the better web'. We felt at home, we made our own pages and we had an overall great time. Now a days we feel trapped. Our data is being sold, our attention spans are declining day by day. It's time to move out of the internet as we know it today before it's too late. The Big Tech moving out service is here to help!
