So he's talking about the Web not the Internet. Counter argument, the web was never that great to begin with and maybe let's stop pretending that some large companies we all don't like for whatever reason are responsible? Social media is opt-in.

But then you quickly realize the Web is what it is due much more to economics associated with it than anything else.
