The world we live in isn't just dystopic, it isn't just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.

Google is not the Internet. People are leaving Google search behind because it doesn’t work worth a shit anymore. SpaceX has nothing to do with the internet. Anthropic has plenty of competitors.
YouTube is the only thing on this list that is close to not having any competition. There have been platforms that tried but only TikTok has approached anything near its market dominance.
It would still be nice to see Google broken up, but they will probably implode at some point instead. Much like Microsoft is doing now.
Future history classes will talk about the year the US stock market was defanged, and the instructors will think it’s so clever.
I thought space equis was behind the satellite internet venture. Is that another company?
Either way, I agree with what you’re saying here. These things are problems, but not totality.
