Hi anyone who is still floating around here. I wish I could go back in time to the early 2000s and experience all the fun I had on this site with you guys (and gals) again!

The internet seemed much larger and more interesting 20 years ago.

Now the internet seems to be a sanitized, corporate hell. Nothing is genuine, its all for marketing or clout or likes or whatever you wanna call it.

Social media has been nothing but a cancerous rot, growing and eating away at our society. To quote NOFX "angry mob mentality is no longer the exception, but the rule".

This forum really brings me back to when it felt like genuine conversations were being had. Before everything became the same meme jokes over and over again.

What do you guys think? Has the internet gotten way worse in the last 20 years or am I just old and out of touch?

I gotta agree with you, yeah. I do love tech, I work in it now and it's been very good to me but yeah, everything has been consumed by megacorps and sanitized/legislated to death. I do miss the wild west of the internet. Now if you go on anything somewhat resembling that like 'the dark web' and TOR, it's all just sketchy, shitty, illegal content, malware, and ads.

Remember StumbleUpon? Used to be real neat. Haven't tried it for some time now but last time I did it was just... meh.
