I've found that the internet is used mainly as communication and exploration of third party basis in practical matter and should be used as so. The mockery of this blasted space is a gross means of communication and should be viewed as so. The system and basis of its communication and contents are a vicarious, third person mockery of themselves. In some exchange the internet, its contents and patrons, are equally mocked. I am wondering: where is the missing link?

There is no missing link. The whole of human artistic expression since time immemorial has been of self mockery and self-criticism. Every 'master' of the arts did just that in their time, we just reinterpret their works as something else. Shakespeare for example, was well known for being 'of the people', and did the equivalent of dick jokes and social satire, which has been reinterpreted as something 'higher' or 'more refined' nowadays, because we look and sound different. Why would the internet be different?

'Of the people' is a noteworthy aspect in terms of retrospect. And self-mockery and -criticism is the best kind. Shakespeare's works are fun and noteworthy, as well, but noteworthy is also to state he was criticized as an artist in his time. Nowadays, people have grown accustomed to his name, just as people have grown accustomed to being 'of the people'. As I see it, the internet is a terms of communication and re-source that can be opened and processed. It is much like an escape for the people of today, as theatre was for the genteel of old, only this program is less refined in terms of true or high knowledge or art--people tamper and realign facts, history. Much is believed by the people 'of the people' creating false notions and beliefs, leading one toward what is 'mainstream' or commonly accepted. Under that, it can be said people fail to criticize outwardly, on an extrinsic level. There, a link can be developed, or perhaps more commonly, destroyed.

Definitely agree.
