Interesting. Deep down we all know it, and we still spend countless hours here in the internet.

No, it just looks that way for me because I stay signed in on CI. I am on YouTube a lot, but it’s for music, background noise for sleep, bird and cat sounds when I’m not home all day for my cat, sermons, conferences, prayers while doing other activities, no different than if on a radio, CD, cassette, or record player. As for “surfing” or “gaming,” like kids and even full grown adults in some cases, no. I may skim through recommended YouTubes, rarely saving any to watch later, and as for video games, I don’t play them, don’t even know what’s popular, have no interest in them except maybe solitaire if I’m waiting in a doctor’s office or sick, bored, too sick to engage the brain, but not too sick to do nothing and I can’t sleep.

Yes, but you know, try to imagine the traditionalist movement in 2025 without the Internet.
Surely the movement existed, but online connectivity has made the dissemination of ideas many orders of magnitude easier than it was before the mid-1990s, and has allowed networking of people many of whom wouldn't have known one another before then.
Think of what you, and all of us here, are doing right this very minute.

Excellent point. So long as Catholics aren’t endlessly online, surfing instead of doing what they should be doing, ie. listening to conferences on prayer instead of praying, then the internet has advanced traditional Catholicism. People who didn’t even know it existed in the early 2000’s and before, have since converted, either from the novus ordo or elsewhere, Protestants, other religions, no religion. But now, it is midnight and it’s time for lights out, unless I can’t sleep and put on one of those rainy night or waves at the seashore sites!

I think the basic concept of HTML is good. You can easily interconnect concepts. In fact, I use (https://obsidian.md/)Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/) to take notes. It uses Markdown, that is very similar to HTML.
Connectivity with other webpages allows for all kinds of exchanges. It allows those who want to improve themselves intellectually and spiritually to do so, but it also allows for the opposite.
But, despite the Post Title, the video is not actually about the web, it's about smartphones and apps like Tik Tok. And honestly, I agree with him, I also think they are trash, apps like Tik Tok are obviously designed to make their users addicted, create very serious problems of lack of attention. I think it's called now "brain rot".

Yeh, I discovered I was addicted to the net.. broke away from it, then went back to this one site because I wanted to share religious and spiritual information w/ others but few want to hear about the Catholic faith (@ secular sites), so I think I am just totally done with all that. I explained until I was blue in the face about the history of the Church.. how Protestant religions can only be traced back as far as 1521 to Luther and etc... etc.. and no one even seem to give it a 2nd thought. It was like "No, I'm happy with my false beliefs, thank you..." and etc... Well, I don't like to see people going on their merry way to Hell so I just... I mean, the Original Church has always taught that there is no salvation o/side of it. That makes total sense if founded by Christ, and Catholics know (or should know) that that is the case. Anyway, one time, not even sure if it was the same site.. but one time I wanted to stay on the net but just literally tore myself away from it just because I don't want to be addicted to anything... except Jesus. but that kind of attachment is not called an addiction of course

As stated elsewhere, I got fed up with the bad attitude Protestants have about all I was telling them about the Catholic faith. When I would say, for instance, that the Original Church has always taught EENS (no salvation outside the Catholic Church)... wow.. people would just accuse me of all kinds of things, like being divisive... got all ticked off because I seemed to be implying I was better than others.. One accused me of "pridefully" proclaiming I'm Catholic! No, I don't pridefully proclaim that or much of anything. As the Word says "What do you have that you have not been given?" And besides, an outspoken Catholic will experience egregious persecution, so what is there to really be "proud" of.. But maybe people here have experienced the same thing I have: Protestants in a big hurry to accuse Catholics of some kind of evil, whatever evil they can come up with... I guess it makes them feel that maybe they really are right to be Protestant when deep inside, they may doubt that... but yeh.. no charity there, to speak of. Well, sorry if this sounds mean, but I can see why there is no salvation in Protestant religions. They just do not have the charity of Christ... not toward outspoken Catholics like me anyway. And if you don't have charity toward all... I don't see how you are going to make it to Heaven.

Protestants, sadly, are brainwashed to hate Our Lady and hate the Church instituted by Jesus Christ. We can only pray for them.
