I miss the days when the internet was for nerds and people made fun of you for using it. That's all I will say.
Got me over here feeling :old: and I'm nowhere near old. I'm probably old in an Internet sense though. :manny:

Back in my day you had to know what you were doing to use a computer ever since they made it woman friendly it has gone to shyt.
Nah. You got men out here on the dumb shyt too. It's pretty much a fact of life: the more people you introduce to something, the higher the probability that things will go south. It's akin to the "Chinese telephone/whispers game."

:dahell: IG has always been primarily used for selfies
At one point, it was just used for random pictures and not the same cliche stuff (yes pictures of the face were taken as well). This was before "selfies" and way before "selfie sticks" were actually things; pictures of food was even more popular than selfies not too long ago. Even on Twitter, at one point people never even used pictures on Twitter like they do for "memes" or reactions. We could even go further, at one point "memes" did not even mean what they do to Twitter users now. "Memes" were image macros that were most typically used on certain *chan sites for example.

Word. I forgot there was a time when I legit thought of going to random places just to take pics of cool stuff and use filters to make it look awesome. :wow:damn I was really close to joining too. Now it's all thirst trap pics wit bs quotes:shaq:. Every girl group pic looks like gravity went HARD that day. "R u trying to actually break ur spine at that angle?"

People ruined the social aspect of the Internet in general. Before high-speed internet was widely available and people could have access to pretty much every website using a mobile device, the Internet was much more pleasant socially. I remember when YouTube comments used to actually be about the video. :martin: Now you have a whole bunch of people who once had to keep their opinions/misery, among other things, to themselves being able to have a platform to share it with the world.


Right. I could be watching a video from Crooked I and these muthafuggas go all out topic talking about Hitler and the Holocust
