Don't worry, a new internet is coming soon. Then we can leave all this behind.

You mean Web3? Yeah Web3 is going to do jack shit to solve this, if anything it'll make it worse

No, I don't mean web3

Then what? Implants from musk? Or all audio like podcasts for everything (which is also not better whatever the marketing says).

Maybe Piper Net (Silicon Valley)

I think about that show surprisingly often and how amazing a compression method like that would be right now. Our internet and storage speeds have not remotely kept up with the rapidly expanding size of files these days.

We can't even adopt IPv6 properly, let alone implement and migrate to a new and improved internet.
