No. The internet is the same thing or place; the mall is the well known part of it, like AOL or Yahoo was, "back in the days".
The artisan alleys of the net exist (eg http://www.penmorfa.com/ , or basically anything from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36575081 ), the abandoned houses or factories of the internet exist (look at blogs that hadn't been touched in a decade); museums, art, libraries, etc exist (look at websites like https://ubu.com/ or https://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/ ). It's all still there.
And malls are there as well, so are packed beaches, attractions, and all the cheap and bad things from the world.
Someone somewhere definitely said already the internet is but a mirror of the world.
