But instead, Dead Internet Theory makes the internet feel like it’s some sort of police radio chatter unique to my location.
I merely think about something and would you look at that, a new post / video / comment / blog / article / etc. about what I’m thinking about, but trying to ragebait me for attention. It also tries to get a reaction, whether it would be with a block, a report, a ban, a ignore like that’ll deter them, a dislike, etc.
And if I continue thinking about something, it’s like I get more replies about what I’m thinking, even though my thoughts are private, as if I asked to “Enhance it.” like in the CSI movies.
I want to feel like I belong in communities and make quality contributions, etc.

Is this really the *internet*, or just social media and aggregators like Reddit and HN? I ask because I typically just do my own thing on my own website, read other people's websites via RSS, and email other website operators if I have something to say that I don't want to put in a public post. Since I ignore social media, and don't visit HN more than once a month, my experience of the internet is a bit different from yours.
