This is what I'm afraid of happening if Linux got popular. I remember people saying the internet wouldn't go to shit because it was decentralized and open.
I know I'll get attacked mercilessly for this, but humanity has a way of fucking up the nicest things.
The internet hasn't gone to shit. We can still make non-shitty, not-for-profit, not garbage things on it. You're literally using such a thing.
But we have Lemmy, the Fediverse, qBitTorrent, Tor, I2P, GrapheneOS and the Armada of GNU/Linux distros. Look at Android, as long as something is FOSS, someone will take the rubbish out and make something usable, not only GrapheneOS, but CalyxOS, DivestOS, eOS and whatnot. The internet is pretty good, if you know what to look for and where to ask.
The internet went to shit because users flocked to sites that broke the unwritten rules of the internet.
