The Internet, at least as we knew it, is dead. As Orthodox Christians, we need to take careful note of our current situation and what we can do about it, because the current Internet is going to hide a lot of good Orthodox content. The new components of the Internet can also lie about, or misrepresent, the Orthodox Faith. The vast majority of all content posted to the Internet will get almost no traffic. None. No matter how erudite, educational, and spirit-filled the Orthodox content may be, chances are no one will ever read it or listen to it. An average blog gets less than 10 visitors a month. Most content may as well not exist. It is also now possible to use AI to rapidly generate an untold number of pages and social media posts misrepresenting the Orthodox Faith. Those pages would be optimized for search engines to find them, whereas faithful content is likely to be buried.

So what is happening? A lot actually. None of it good. Let’s explore the Dead Internet.
