I used to surf hella different websites years ago. Shopping sites are also popping tho
So we gon act like websites haven't been dead for 10 years?
- Thread starter Patriarch
- Start date
Facts. I remember back in high school I'd be visiting nahright, 2dopeboyz, allhiphop, boxden, and a couple other sites on the regular. Now ...
Think a lot of it has to do with the real time updates you get from social media versus waiting for websites to be updated by admins
Back in the day if I was a Nelly fan id be checking Nelly.net religiously, or jayz.com.. Seems like those days are done with the advent of social media.

If you are basic you probably don't be on a lot of websites...
But if you really about this internet otaku life...then you go on a lot of websites...

This is a website.
YouTube is a website.
Facebook, Twitter, it goes on and on but there's a few websites.
And a couple of them are also the biggest companies on Google Earth.
I would go as far as to say that basically whatever you do
Online
Is basically via a
Website.
Perhaps the little link on your phone or the fact you don't have to type 'www' makes you forget that it's the internet.
But it is.

I do a lot of studying online. Both academic and for hobbies such as learning how to read music and repair guitars. I literally learned Spanish via Youtube. Without the Internet I'd be in the library every day.
No more checking out library books 
This thread makes no sense because you say websites are dead, but you posting on a website right now
then you list social media, apps, youtube, and news which are 99% of websites.

I don't see the point in them, but i'm not about to fight and argue w/anybody that feels the need to have a dot com

This is true but not all social media is an advancement of the internets use. I get a lot more content from this website still than I would from social media and in a multi-lateral format. There definitely still more room for content and utilization of the internet from a website as opposed to social media only. All the different apps are redundant and overlap as well. The websites wont be really dead until something thats more functional comes along that's relatively as simple functional and variable. Websites are dead though as being where socialized Internet interaction is centred around. Now it's like a resource hub.

Most folks dont even have the capacity to update these domains as frequently as people require. Folks these days want instant updates. A murder is on facebook within 10 minutes these days.

Think there’s definitely a lot less surfing going on these days
