Wired Argues It's Time to Let the Internet Die and Start Over

Original: Please Let the Internet Die. It's Time to Start Over

Wired has published a provocative essay arguing that the modern internet is beyond repair and should be allowed to collapse so something better can be built in its place. The piece reflects growing frustration with an online world dominated by algorithms, advertising, spam and AI-generated content. The argument is drawing strong reactions, with readers debating whether a fresh start is realistic or naive.

Why now: Widespread frustration with the current state of the internet, intensified by AI-generated content and platform decay, makes calls for a radical reset resonate.
