You're probably right I had been a bit behind regarding the discourse about the internet. I was in my early teenage years and just started knowing about it.
And for your second claim: If you define communism the way I usually do (the social principle of coorperating to fulfill everyones needs), it seems likely the internet would be designed towards peoples needs, rather than companies profits. Of course it would still consume ressources to provide cat videos, but the required ressources might be less, since cooperating/sharing ressources is more efficient than competing.
I remember being all "omg great the internet will finally free information everything will be awesome" in like 2008.
Then I read some Marxist analysis saying "nope, rather sooner than later the market principles, as the hegemonial/contemporary means of humans organizing themselves, will fuck it up and it will kinda suck lile everything else"
I even remember that feeling of hope: "nah this time they're wrong".

I generally recommend this type of backpack since its 100% waterproof, basically dirtproof, has no zippers or any other parts that can brake. More ore less wear and tear proof. They contain huge volumes, but have little organization features.I got one thats in use for over 20years.
Tldr: max. Funktionality but you also look functional (german tourist syndrome)
The combination of a) murder/suicide of a woman and b) a man having sex with her still doesn't seem to result in jokes worth the reactualisation and potential reproduction of rape culture, does it?
