I agree with you to a certain extend, but I have noticed a huge influx of things being pushed at us on almost all platforms. I guess it depends on what you find absurd. For instance, I find it quite absurd that I cannot read a news story (on almost any site anymore) without having ads about random stuff smashed into my face. The forums have gotten bad too. ILF is great because it's stuck a few decades behind in software (LOL), so we don't have that issue as much. If you look at some of the bigger forums though, there's ads almost everywhere. At least the ones I use.
I know you're probably not specifically talking about ads though. It's just the most obnoxious thing that comes to mind for me when surfing the net. Especially since ISP will be able to shove them at you whenever they want, however they want now.
I feel like the internet can be a golden wealth of knowledge at times. As a property manager, it has saved my ass countless times to be able to google something on the fly and be able to figure it out.
For instance, I was running an auger recently to clean out a drain line. I've never done that before and had no idea what I was doing. It seems straight forward right? It does take a certain level of skill though. I googled it, and a site told me what heads to use with the auger, in which order and how fast/slow I ought to take things. I had no idea. I have no plumbing experience, but I learned something and it saved me a few hundred bucks. So right there, it help a ton.
I've done the same thing on many occasions.
I think for the most part you have to take what you want and leave the rest. Then the internet is magical.
It's not all just Porn Hub and Youtube.
