Internet is no longer accessible?

The internet’s latest villain, according to this fed-up crowd, isn’t one bad website — it’s death by a thousand little humiliations. The original complaint reads like a modern horror story: endless picture tests, constant logouts, phone codes that fail, forced app installs, websites asking you to move your head or turn on your microphone, and forms that won’t even let you paste text. For many readers, the vibe is simple: you’re not browsing anymore, you’re auditioning for permission.

And the comments? Pure drama. One camp was instantly relatable and furious. Ericmay basically said if a site is even a little annoying, he’s gone — and blamed product teams for forgetting that friction drives people away. Benoau took the fear to blockbuster levels, worrying that if Cloudflare ever flags him, a giant chunk of the web could vanish behind one giant “prove you’re human” wall. Gregdaniels421 went even darker, suggesting this all feels like a push toward a more tracked, more controlled internet.

But not everyone grabbed a pitchfork. Squigz came in with the spicy reality check: maybe the internet isn’t broken, maybe people are just trapped on the biggest mainstream sites. That sparked the classic comment-section split between “yes, this is a real crisis” and “touch grass, use different websites.” Meanwhile, one of the funniest running jokes is that the web now seems deeply committed to one theory above all else: everyone is a bot until proven innocent.
