It's called the Eternal September.

Back in the 80's, only university researchers had access to the internet and they created a set of social norms or "nettiquette" that they lived by. Every September, a bunch of new students would get access and mess up the nettiquette. Eventually they would adapt or get bored of being picked on and leave.

Once ISPs came along and brought the net to everybody there was a constant stream of new users, creating an eternal September.

We're constantly lowering the bar, back in the 90's you at least had to pay for dial-up which made every kB of transferred data precious so people were less likely to waste it. Then came broadband which made people dump anything on the internet like a big truck.

Then came the iPhone and other smartphones which dumbed down the internet to the point where even a nigger could use it.

Then the internet became available to any Pajeet or Brazilian or Nigerian, dumbing things down even further.

Now we have AI bots generating dead content. The cycle continues.
