Project Gutenberg predates the internet. I still remember how their goal was to give away one trillion ebooks.
Project Gutenberg is still around, so I won’t say this is an example of the internet getting worse. But I loathe how it’s come to focus on damnable social media like there’s nothing else of worth out there. Social media, among other things, filled the air with noise that starved many worthwhile projects of attention.
