You can't really expect anything else these days (it's been like this for a long time now).
This is a lesson in desire. You desire something better, but the alternative sucks, so the true solution here is to stop being invested in the topic. I speak from experience here, I too have lamented the decline of the internet.
But you can't expect anything else because online communities have been decimated. Things just don't flow like they once did. Nobody really has an interest in signing up with usernames (or being anonymous) and having epic moments like they once did. Now it's all about how you can get points and money.
Keep in mind there are a small minority left who DO want to embrace the old ways. But lets be honest they fail at that. How many times has something been promoted as organic and for the people, how many times has something on the internet been promoted to oldfags and even the frustrated common user as the solution to modern slop, only for it to fail. This is just how things are now.
