Just the Internet, huh? I think it's ruining a few things. Especially when it's coupled w/ the forever growth mentality.

Oh for sure. It’s destroying society in large swaths.
hello healthcare
Unbridled capitalism is destroying the internet everything it touches.
When the ONLY motive for doing (or not doing) something is profit, things go to sit sooner or later. The example I often use is that we actually have enough food in the planet to feed everyone. We just throw a large portion of it away or destroy it, because in so many cases food is not made/grown to feed people, but to generate profits... Sad reality of late stage capitalism.
Agreed. A lot of it is due to misplaced or misrepresented priorities. If you don't account for human and environmental impacts in the proverbial "bottom line", you're gonna have a bad time. If we implemented metrics for sustainability and societal improvement as part of the "worth" or "profits" of a company, the world and our future in it may be a little less bleak of a place. Instead, the current system places waaay too much emphasis on short-term goals that are frankly not in line with what I would consider "productivity".
It is but the FOSS community and projects like the Fediverse and increasing decentralization will go a long way to countering monetisation and the capitalist mindset
But it's social network, not capital network!
