To me, the Internet died a little before 2012. Some may say 2009, others say 2007. But I say it started to die since 2012, it's just been a steady process and now we've been seeing the rapidness catch up within the past 9 years.
It's not a guess anymore as to how many corps, companies and zealot individuals want to take control of the internet for their own gain.
2012 does indeed still feel like a major inflection point.
The Mayans predicted the end of the world in 2012. Really, it was the end of the expected simulation that we're all living in. Now that we're past that year, stacks are overflowing and the simulation is encountering unexpected results outside the boundaries of the programmers' intents. That's why everything is fucked.
