Current Events > It's kind of amazing how boring the internet has gotten

(+) Yeah! (+)

Back in late 90s when dialup was still a thing, going online was a mindblowing experience

But now, with all our high-speed wi-fis and various Tubes and social media sites, the internet has become one giant cesspool of users yelling at each other about nothing :/

There's like maybe a half dozen sites I visit regularly and that's it. Everything else is trash.

A half dozen sites is a lot.

I'm either here wasting time or on Facebook wasting time.

I miss my flash games and waiting 20 minutes for it to load

---

I disagree

---

I miss mid 2000s YouTube

---

I agree totally and I blame social media. Its fucked us up as a species.

---

I lived with dialup until I went to college, and I don't miss it for even a single second
---

I blame youtube google money hatted youtube then all the normal websites died. It's just not worth it to make normal website content when youtube pays so much better.

Facebook wasting time.

Well, you could just stop using it and start playing games on Newgrounds.

It's boring cause you're older, not cause the thing sucks. Don't chase the dragon and find something that satisfies older you more.

Shit, I had more fun wondering around Menards the other day than I had playing games in a long time. I'm crossing over. It's not cause games suck. It's cause my interests changed

---

Unironically became stale when it became normal.

i tend to agree but it will have all been worth it once bitcoin and urbit usher in the next society

That is absolutely disturbing. Unless it was the gimmicky teenage-ish stuff they keep in the electrical department.

I tend to get bored on it because the majority of message boards died off and were never replaced by new ones because of social media. And since I don't do that shit I don't really go anywhere but here and YouTube for the most part. I keep procrastinating on my backlog which has just become borderline unachievable at this point, so I get bored pretty easily. Doesn't help that I have spent about 90% of my time in Red Dead 2 just wondering around doing the challenges and hunting instead of actually playing the story.
