After awhile, I dove in and learned all I could about how it worked. The golden age ended about a decade ago, and it's been declining ever since. I don't regret my involvement; communications is a lot of fun. Still, it's becoming a burden. If it ends by the hand of God, it will be a good thing.
I liked...and still like...all of this, too. The Internet paradigm fit my silent/slow-thinking personality very easily, and I was able to base my meatworld survival on working with it going on for two decades now. But as you've said before, it's just a tool, and it's been hijacked by TPTB as another avenue for psych and practical control. That's the way things always work, it seems.
