The author argues that the internet was meant to be fun, and that today's social media has lost that quality to clutter, negativity, and the pressure to constantly produce content. He recalls delivering a pizza in 2015 to a stranger in Toronto after a Twitter exchange, and a friend, Daryl, bringing cappuccinos during a Nashville blizzard after a Facebook post. He contrasts the early blogging years, when a comment could arrive within minutes and a blog was exceptional, with a present where publishing is routine and creators feel pressured to keep posting.
