      Yes, but we need to be aware that it would get worse temporarily, and a lot of services we’re used to be being free would no longer be free. For example, Youtube would probably become a paid service.

        Hot take- The internet never really should’ve been free. The real world almost never gives you anything for free. You don’t get free food, free gas, free haircuts. Paying would not only lock in a sane model but people would be more discriminate when they have to pay as well. They’d demand better.

        A different benefit might be we’re on our phones and such less and actually touch grass.
