Does anyone else miss how the internet used to be? I started using Yea Forums in 2006 when I was 8 and the internet went from being fun and chaotic to being controlled by a few companies and over-politicised. Even back when lulzsec was a thing it was more aboutmessing around than actually sending a political message.

Oldfag here. Been here since 2006 also but I am 10 then lol

Yea Forums is a lot like the wild west. The more people that came here, the less wild it became.
It hurts.

Now we just have /pol/tards larping as revolutionaries and loads of porn threads. Occasionally when I see a good thread I get excited but they rarely turn into anything before the mods delete them.

Was never good

>T. Newfag
Fuck off

a lot of people miss the time before facebook and smartphones. technology doesn't make everything better.

>been here since i was 8 years old

Fuck off kid

I'm 21 now. I was a kid when I started but I'm not a kid anymore.

I wonder how many of the larpers here are paid now. In 2017 I read an article in the Atlantic mentioning that 75% of the posts in Don's Facefuck page were from fake accounts, almost all of which were setup by political organizations. People with money have way too much of it to spend on propaganda, and people without it are so broke they'll work for organizations & persons they violently detest.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there are more than a few. Around 8am this morning there were suddenly four KKK/nigger hate threads created in the span of ten minutes.

Thats completely normal though

Nope dont miss the old internet. Fucking CIH virus back then. Got me several times

Virus' where easy to avoid if you knew what yo where doing.

And they're seldom inventively sick enough to qualify as true venom spewed by freelance haters or baiters of them. I get off on hate speech that's borderline schizo, but the "industrialized" kind of it is a crushing bore.

why would mods delete them?
t. not a frequent Yea Forums visitor

Only recently.

This.

When people need foam bumpers on everything we should call them retarded, not put foam bumpers on everything. Thats what ruined the internet, society, everything. Surprise most of you are fucking idiots

>please summarize the internet and human behavior for me

Foam bumpers. Some idiot that cant help his chucklefuck self will answer this instead of 'lurk mor dummy'

I was out living life so I don't know. I couldn't imagine doing this shit for years. The mental and social deficit you must have, I'm sorry

Now that every ucking page on the internet has gone from having slightly annoying ad banners to having animated ad banners that cover the content, every site has a "subscribe to our one million annoying news notifications" popups and a slow loading "yes I allow all your cookies" splash page, and yet hiding all the content behind paywalls... Well... Times aren't better.

I accidentally a whole Coke bottle.

>I just randomly stopped here to explain how uninvolved I am

Yeah, right. If someone proves how retarded you are youll just dance away alluding to the great life you have aside posting here.

Theres no pattern to belonging like every nigerian prince normal thinks there is. When you had to put effort into posting here it showed. Now you dont, and it shows

The whole thing surely youre joking?

Because they don't want to be held responsible if it gets out of hand. In other words, they're scared of being sued/shut down.

I just come here to fuck around.

>theyre scared of the pile of shit they pay to keep alive

Try again brainlet

>Now we just have /pol/tards larping
Good. You faggots deserve nothing less. You ruined /pol/, the least we can do is return the favour. Get fucked.

I'm evaluating this site for my children who use it. Some of this shit is ridiculous. I'll explore a few.
Agreed. There used to be much more social cohesion. Living in small groups was ideal. It's the way evolution played out and in spite of our grand achievements worldwide happiness is declining.
This is nonsense. Exploring ideas counter to your own is extremely important. I would even go as far to say it is the hallmark of intelligence. Don't allow yourself to be trapped in an echo chamber.
Good on you. Hopefully others can take it for what it is. A place to fuck around.

You are an awful parent and I wouldnt listen to your opinion of anything.

What makes you say that?

My mouth

Fair enough
This site seems to be (among other things) the collective discourse against the current society. Most of it is stupid. Lots of it are lies. I think they are smart enough to separate the chaff from the important. It might all be bullshit but I believe they can make their own way.

You must believe in your kids more than teachers who put soon-to-be-depressed 1st graders in gifted programs.

Gotta tiptoe through the tulips with these cocksuckers

you can blame liberals for that user they have politicised everything. I honestly think half of Yea Forums isn't even conservative because they like politics. They just want these crazy liberal harpies to fucking die off so we can all have a chill time again.

>layers

I don't understand what you are saying. Could you try to phrase it another way?
So you believe that my children will be chronically depressed? What makes you believe that?

What do you mean?
>hurr

Also I should say that my children do not play that game. They play outside or hang out with friends. Maybe they play fortnight with their friends but at least that is with other people. Real social interaction

I'm saying you're retarded for believing in them to not be fucking retarded, retard, but if you insist:
>Global warming
>Political conflict fucking everywhere
>Robots taking jobs and becoming big brained
>Feminazis
>Internet
>More genders than homosexual mods
>Overall global stupidity
>Probably WW3 by the time they're 18
And that's off the top of my head.

Fuck off newfag

/thread

Could you explain how any of that makes my children retarded? Political conflict has always been an issue. Automation is an inevitable conclusion and we should strive to put people into better more fulfilling professions. The rest I am not knowledgeable enough to comment on.

You're more retarded than I thought if you can't realize that I'm saying why your children are fucked, rather than why they're retarded. I thought the things this generation of children had done was enough to explain that.

I'll sidestep the insult and get to the real heart of the issue. What is it that the previous generation has done that has fucked the current generation z? I understand that some have checked out of society but I think that lands on specific parents and not the my generation as a whole.

I made a mistake in thinking that you thought it was the previous generation. I suppose that was fueled by my own biases. I misread

All this proves is that rednecks exist.

>Probably WW3 by the time they're 18
Good for the economy.

>Occasionally when I see a good thread I get excited but they rarely turn into anything
See: this thread.

As the son of a family, I know that we aren't that coordinated.
