Why do they ruin everything? Why did we allow this to happen?

Bet this kid wasn’t even alive in the 90s, the Internet was kinda dog shit before the web and the early web, while cool, is probably something that wouldn’t hold up very well if you went back and relived the experience today. There were cool things like BBSes, IRC, MUDs, and whatnot but they pale in comparison to what we have now.
I was there and I disagree with everything you just said. Stuff is quicker now and design is prettier, but that’s about it.
The web literally didn’t even exist at the beginning of the 90s, but you go right ahead and disagree your heart out.
John B Good enough started the Internet on literally my birth year. You think you’re fooling anyone with shit we can get an immediate correction from with a web search? Also nobody said ‘beginning’, by which you mean to count the only year of the decade without Internet as if that’s what matters in the conversation.
Get fucked troll.
I’m young and naive, but isn’t the old internet still there? Just muffled by large sites? They posted this on 4chan, no “normalfag” uses 4chan. By my logic, isn’t that site safe from the brainrot that is tiktok?
And it’s not like you can’t access movies for free in full resolution anymore, there are just streaming services for the “normalfags”. The point about brainlessly watching F tier propaganda filled corporate shit (series) is valid. The quality has dropped by a lot. I’d argue the news’ did as well.
And reposting/not-crediting/stealing content has always been an issue afaik.
It really does just sound like a whiny kid. All the things he complains about literally exist or have always been there just in other forms. Modern 4chan is a far cry to what old 4chan was anyways, it’s basically mainstream at this point.
I don’t agree with the anon’s whining, but the “old internet” is indeed slowly dying, just look at reddit. Torrenting (in my experience) is also much harder and regulated in some countries.
I’m happy that I’m not in one of those countries. And I’m glad I got Lemmy, bevause of that shitshow, but the information loss from the deleted accounts are devastating.
That’d be my take as well: imo this anon is taking part of a truth and turning it into an extreme. But I’m curious as to what other people think about this :)
Fake and gay
Not in the same way
Anon thinks the internet is ten years old, and has therefore only been ruined rather recently.
Wake me up when (eternal) September ends.
What about the abnormalfags?
These poor souls stayed on the Gopher protocol… Their families never saw them again :(
