Am I just growing up and getting tired of childish crap, or has the internet gotten more and more stupid?
I feel like since smartphones and cheap laptops became a thing, every 12 year old in the developed world has one, and 99% uses it to post ebic maymays and get into arguments with people 3x their age on forums.
Tell me I'm not crazy. Tell me that's what's happening.
its getting worse and worse man no need to kid.
...
LOL THAT DOG GOIN ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND!!!
I just came back to Sup Forums today after a hiatus of about 3 years, and it is exactly as cancerous as it was the last time I was here.
It's all going to shit OP, Too much accessibility for as you say every 12 year old kid, allows them and every other retard to spread their idiocy to everyone
ur not crazy op
also don't forget youtubers
thank fucking jebus it's not just me.
I think what ruined it is young children now having access to cheap laptops and smartphones and shit... so now they spend all day shitposting on youtube and wherever else they find
That's exactly what happened..
and the fagget 12 year olds flushed out all of the teens from hiding and they started to come here. Times are changing user.. It was fun while it lasted.
it's gotten worse. It took a basic understanding of the internet to use it even when aol and msn was a thing but the easier it got the more idiots got involved..
couple that with facebook being the home page for many users and the acceptance of geek culture at least the ideal version of what the media thinks geek culture is and you have the modern internet..
lets face it we were assholes back in the day but fuck me if we didn't know how to have a good time and actually be surrounded by talented people who created content. We all got eachother and I don't just mean Sup Forums.. the whole internet was filled with geeky kids and older 20 somethings calling eachother faggots and starting flame wars for fun and profit but now most of us have moved on and those of us who remain are drowned out by the millions of voices screaming HURRR into the abyss
The internet is dead user .. we're just feeding off it's bloated corpse
bro you got a kik or steam or anything? you seem like you'd be cool to talk to
..speaking of which
The internet was a place to escape the real world.
Now its just became a place that brings out the narcissism in everyone.
The standardization of it has ruined everything.
This place was the final frontier and we turned it into shit(Well I didnt)
Who would have thought the internet would actually immature over time.
Idiocracy was right.
GG human race
The only recompense is to unleash the kraken, break the Internet, and be punished for our sins. Bork them as they've borken our sweet, sweet imgbored. I think it's finally time.
y do u assume the ones pwning you on the forumns are kids? because they disagree with you?
The really ironic thing is it's actually the older generation who fucked it up.. facebook and twitter are filled with people in their 50s shitposting about reality TV.. and their idiot kids are just copying mommy
Impossible.. what was just fun stupid shit back in 2005 will now land you in jail.. the internet isn't for us anymore it's for everyone we came here to escape
yea but now almost all of the real oldfags left it seems.
we're still here.. some of us. We either don't post much or we do post and get called a newfag for using the word pwnd or posting EFG
It's kind of like douchebags that drive giant rolling status symbols. You see so many videos of grand cherokee or land rover drivers trying to run people off the road and shit, it's because they think they're invulnerable behind the wheel and there will be no consequences.
Same thing happened with the internet. Since no one's going to cut off their internet access, they go full retard and tell the world to bow to them.
Glad that I'm not the only one. Everytime I scroll down to youtube's comment section an urge to kill myself grows.
I had to install an addon to block youtube comments. I'd scroll down to comment on the video myself and see people acting like retards, and something about me just makes me need to wrangle those retards in and try to put them in their place. They never learn though.
When a community of smart people act like idiots for fun real idiots will adopt their ideals and take over
For me it's seeing reposted facebook "memes" all over Sup Forums
it's image macros you cunts
Also fuck that frog and banana srsly.. fuck them up their stupid asses
Eternal September: 2016 edition
I completely blame social media.
Absolutely purest form of cancer.
True, without cesspools like facebook and twitter, there wouldn't be so many idiots introduced to the internet, so it'd be good for at least a few more years.
I installed an add on to completely block cancerous channels, or videos belonging to cancerous channels from even showing up. I don't read comments. WHY the FUCK would you read comments?
I'm not giving any cunt a fraction of a cent for accidentally clicking their shit.
once my fucking dad got a facebook account, i knew it was REALLY over. Up until then I thought there was hope. That was 4 years ago. Now we are truly wasting our lives!
Everyone gets around that uses cancerous social media, visits cancerous places, spreads everything everywhere. Everything nowadays is a "meme". "Haha check out this meme!" "Look at me, I'm memeing!" Every time I hear the term now it is just.
If you ask me, I've browsed Sup Forums since mid to late 2005. It didn't really start getting a little bad until around 2009 - 2011. Now it is almost unbearable. I reckon I still come here from time to time just for the shit of it. Old stomping grounds now irradiated. Walking through Chernobyl.
What do I do without the internet? Everything else costs a shit ton of money. Drive like 10 miles away to go on a walk in the mountains or some shit and you've spent as much as like a month of internet already.
So where the fuck do we go now?? By this logic there's no escaping. And I think you're right.
In all honesty it's information warfare. Social media and other Internet platforms are being used to normalize the populations that use them. We just need to unplug by now..
We don't go anywhere. Sup Forums is dead, the other chans are a joke, the darknet is too risky because some faggot will ruin it by posting cp or some shit..
This is it for us.
The internet as we know it is dead and if you're like me.. classic nerd minus the basement then all you'll have is memories and a feeling of deep sadness knowing the internet went from being the only free place to the most restricted in less than 5 years
itt highschool intellectuals
We can't unplug.. we can't join the mainstream lets face it, if we could we wouldn't be here.
The time to disconnect was 2010 when everything started shutting down and google and facebook were the only thing people cared about. fuck half the internet is owned by google and facebook is moving into some scary realworld shit
The man who makes billions spying on his users bought the whole area around his house and built a wall so he couldn't be spied on.. what a world
No faggot, actual grown up talk used to happen here all the time.. not the "kys" "newfag" "reddit" shit you cunts spout when you can't find the gay porn threads
>12 year olds
>internet
>get into arguments with people 3x their age on forums
Nah, that has always been a thing.
Smart phones on the other hand and social media. Basically the HIV highway for the internet.
>enterlechual that found Sup Forums through facebook
yeah but at least back then the 12 year olds were funny and smart enough to actually argue without spouting memes... oh wait it's coming back to me
"all ur base r belong 2 us fag"
Oh, it's definitely getting fucking worse.
So much infestation by fucking whining pussies these days, so many literal retards on social media shitting up the entire thing.
fuckin kek
what happened to posts like this? the world would be a great place if you replace the offended SJW 12 year olds with people that post stuff like this.
Remember when Sup Forums was unlisted in a google search?
That needs to happen again.
I fucking feel you dude. I think maybe we have just been getting on here for too long.
It'd be tragically comedic how the traffic would probably drop after removal from search engines
I wish I could go back and warn everyone.. I stay awake at night thinking about how fucked up everything is.. not just the internet but everything.
If someone had told me when I first booted up my first pc in 1993 that we'd be hearing about terrorist attacks and some whores new ass implants in the same news segment i'd have laughed in your face
Suck his dick already you fucking faggot.
I too remember the golden age of the internet. The age before every child was handed a tablet to fuck around on. The internet now is just 12 yr olds and other normie faggots with the intellectual age of a 12 yr old
HAHA HARAMBE OMG DO I FIT IN YET
Could we do this on behalf of Sup Forums? Like how hard could it be to forge a delisting request?
Too many people have this belief that if you dont have anything to hide then you have nothing to fear. Capitolism has reached its climax and just like a light bulb going out it should have never ended this way. There is no way to fix the internet. Greed has got his hands on freedom again so now humanity has to take its toll. Too bad... I thought we wouldn't allow this to happen.. I want to have hope. But hope is never certin.
Kill yourself
Septemberfag. You're the true cancer of the usenet.
Most of us got jobs and lost the edge to be honest.
This nigger gets it.
How about you suck my massive epeen you little shit?
I was pwning bitches before you were even playing hide from the coat hanger.
Dear bitchy people ((((((you))))))), stop trying to make 4chin something its not.
Sincerely,
>everyone else on Sup Forums
That man is a god. Pic not related.
You act as if your opinion is absolute. We're not your personal army. Got find somthing better to do with yourself. You seem to be good at that.
\i was slightly too young for the usernet invasion. This is different but I get what your saying
It's called becoming jaded.
Some people are lucky enough to remain amused throughout life, while others just get grumpier and more bored.
Irony at its finest.
Shut the fuck up minion, back in line
Hmm no reply number are you lost or somthing?
Do more drugs
yes kids need to be banned from the internet. i don't even know why parents allow this? would they let their kids watch a rated R movie? probably not but they're fine with their kids browsing gore and porn all day online
niggers
i never used to post but now all i do is post because there's nothing fun here anymore so i have to make my own fun
Gotcha bitch.
add on name?
hey
Maybe it's because I'm kinda drunk, but this thread just kinda raise some feels.
For all the shit-talking and shit-posting and the same old arguing and name-calling, there was some kind of sense of comradery.
For the most part we were all kind of geeks and misfits that didn't quite fit in, and we were all shitty to each other, but we were all in on the joke.
People take things WAY too seriously now (online persona and real-world persona becoming the same thing)
>since smartphones and cheap laptops became a thing, every 12 year old in the developed world has one
this is sorta a double sided coin...
i mean, yeah, 12yo boys having access to 4chin and jewtube and everything completely ruins communities...
but on the flip side, 12yo girls making webcam porn in a darkened bedroom is just fantastic...
