The internet is so fucking lame now. Are we just stuck in an endless shittification loop until it just falls into disuse?
>>954610601Probably.
>>954610601as long as i have porn i'm ok with it
Dude dont gay up a neutral thread. Not cool.
>>954610601Maybe this is for the best. Maybe it will cause a mass exodus back into the real world and then we'll finally be motivated to make it not suck so much.
>>954611064>:3
I just feel like the internet has run its course and its going to continue going downhill from here. Once this EU shit passes it will be normalized for VPNs to be banned everywhere, digital ID required on everything etc. OC has been dead for years, Youtube/streaming has been corporate sell-out shit for a while now and modern games are mostly crap. I feel like I should just download a bunch of shit and then go offline.
this feels like the last place to chat and poast. i wanted to look up some drug info on r/drugs to find out it's been banned for like a while. reddit used to have an iota of cool imagine that! unfathomable today. banned
>>954612035>Once this EU shit passes it will be normalized for VPNs to be banned everywhere, digital ID required on everything etcVote republican. Flee EU countries. Come here legally. Come to the dark side. We have cookies.
>>954612058>this feels like the last place to chat and poastchan sites are multitude. Google harder.
Its a big internet. They cant censor all of it and they know it. There are LoRa radios. There are ad hoc networks. They cant possibly police it all.They tried with CB radios.
>>954612076I'm not even a yuropoor, I just know it will set a precedent that will eventually be rolled-out worldwide, like with everything. AI companies, advertising and law enforcement are frothing at the mouth to get their hands on that level of surveillance and will push the suits in whatever political party to sign it into law.
>>954612076>Republicans will save the dayHoly fucking cope
>>954612090i know, but once then there used to be forums for every single thing filled with people yapping about
The tail cannot wag the dog.Right now people are winning the battle vs Flock.Next up is Axon.Fuck the plan. Trust and believe in yourselves.
>>954612143There still are. Everywhere. It's the same way it's always been, just most people flock to major internet hubs now.
>>954612107>They cant possibly police it all.AI's changed that.
>>954612142democrats wanted to police free speechdemocrats wanted to force the jabs and weaponize OSHA.democrats want to infect your kids with the gay and the trans.democrats want a welfare state with high taxes and big government spending.democrats ignore the Laffer Curve.democrats lost the WHdemocrats lost the Senate.democrats lost the House.democrats lose lose lose every time the go to the SCOTUS.Reciprocal concealed carry will be the law of the land.Home schooling exploding in popularity.Charter schools and school choice exploding in popularity.dems lost their department of education.Blue state exodus.So called "Gender affirming care" banned in all red states.Biological males banned from womens sports per SCOTUS.donkeys losing losing losing by every metric at every turn.Cope. Seethe. Dial 8. Try your desperate gaslighting. Call me names. Whip our one of your schizoid scripts and call me some sort of namefag.Thats all you have.
>>954612211keep telling yourself that.
>>954612185you know what i miss? wild west omegle. a nail was put in the coffin the day it shut down
>>954612225You're delusional, you have no political knowledge outside of memes and you're probably a child.
>>954610601The smarter ones (not us) moved off the clearnet. But generally yeah. Pockets will still exist but we're never going back. Social media and LLMs are bad enough but the real killer was massive adoption of the smartphone.
>>954612142No sweetie. The conservative mindset is you are expected to save yourself and be dependent on the government aka other peoples money as little as possible.
>>954612244Cheap ad homs. Get back to me when you learn to debate using facts and logic.
>>954612249The culture is gone too is the thing. The 2000's optimistic vibe was something else. Like every night on the internet something cool and new was happening and users all felt in it together on the bleeding edge of some new meme or something. Now it feels like mindless corpo slop, ignore the corruption mind-slave, pre-order your 10th monthly subscription for something and get back to work. And every country being ~2 years away from everyone requiring a scan of their dickprint to be online is gunna be the final nail in the coffin.
>>954612340>being ~2 years away from everyone requiring a scan of their dickprint to be online is gunna be the final nail in the coffin.Again the tail cannot wag the dog. Do not consent. Do not cooperate. They simply cannot control all of us and its like the gun grab in Australia. It only works if you play along.Never, EVER, give up your guns.Thank me later.
>>954612340>And every country being ~2 years away from everyone requiring a scan of their dickprintI can hear the sound of Flock cameras being cut off in the night if I listen closely enough around 2am.Either you decide right now to believe in yourself and in freedom and in we the people or you remain lost in the forest.Choose.
Will you submit to tyranny or will you fight back? Remember you are not alone. You are never alone.
>>954612340China perfected the model. There is novelty to be found even within the Chinese internet, it's just fleeting.Also it was usually shit back in the day too, just much less than now.
>>954612370So the current tyranny is none of your business, but if the tyranny ever affects you, we all have to band together against it get slaughtered by the national guard
>>954612409Oh I'm not rose-tinted glasses on it. I know the 90s and 00s internet had their problems too. But the wild west was fun and now its just another 9-5 where we get forcefed govt/corpo propoganda.
>>954612452I can parse most of it so for me it's generally just an annoyance. I do worry that the kids will grow up without ever really being able to distinguish. For them the well is poisoned.
>>954612434>So the current tyranny is none of your businessOhai Mr Strawman.
I think the Internet would be better of splintering.If good people ever make a come back in Western power structures, the West should geo-block at least half of the world's nations from breaching our network space. Any cyberspace violations should be responded to accordingly, maybe even drone attacks on their energy infrastructure if attempts to infiltrate don't cease, just take them offline. Transgressing Western Internet would be as illegal as unauthorised border crossings.The brown and black nations enshittifying the Internet shouldn't even have the technology, it's just another stolen Western invention, they have to gtfo.
>>954612303>sweetie>false sincerityCringeOh by the way this isn't a debate and you haven't made any formal arguments. Not one.
>>954612692You might get the bad version of that, because it will make it even easier to control.
>>954612838That applies to basically everything technological. Any useful advance can often be weaponised against us, and in time those such tools will inevitably be built (covertly or not), it's just a question of who controls it and/or how.
>>954610601Can't argue with that.Sadly, internet will not fall into disuse, because it's now intertwined with the infrastructure of modern society and most people can't even think for themself without it.>Infinite enshittification will continue until... Look, it will just continue, ok?
like all aspects of life, the shitification of the internet is because of leftists meddling with stuff and demanding controlall problems faced by humanity can be attributed to leftist decisions
>>954612244you're probably some variation of random homosexual bullcrap
>>954615269Straight, white, cisgender.
>>954610601Hopefully. The internet was a mistake. We should start over.
>>954615306The internet is a tool. Because some people use it for nefarious or unproductive purposes doesn't make it invalid.
>>954612225Ask yourself:>"Do I feel more free today than I did in 2015?">"Are things better today than in 2015?"Your people had a full term with limited power and we're halfway through a term where they have had total and virtually unrestricted power.So why are things so much worse now than in 2015? Explain.
the internet has become a side hoe for these reasons, now. reading (real reading obviously, not social media scrolling) is now my main hoe.
>>954610601If the mods banned the log fat this place would be a lot more interesting
>>954610601something has to end for something else to begin
>>954612225No they didn't log fatYou always post this stupid picture log fatLog fatLog fatYou're fatYou're a fat stupid Nazi dickhead
>>954620936Doubtful.
>>954615468Like the log fat
>>954620972You literally have a pool of about 15 wordsYou're that fucking stupidAnybody can tell when you're posting
We need IDsIDs would show that 80% of these posts are the same fucking faggot
>>954621000>youWho do you think I am, exactly? Do you literally accuse every post of being the logposter? How can you be this retarded? How many words was that, retard?
>build something beautiful and useful>allow rent seekers in>rent seeking behavior ensues>everything goes to shitBut hey, at least it bought enough time for virologists to make a 95% people deleter.
>>954610601then leave
>>954610601agreed
>>954610601>disuseHave you not noticed that the newest generations are on it more than ever?
>>954610601Andrew Latimer
>>954610601The internet is fine. People are just retarded and keep using the same 4-5 websites daily because the biggest market players have convinced us that those 5 websites ARE the internet. They are not. There is more cool shit on the internet than you or I will ever have the time to see. Just browse more.
>>954613186Solution: Stop using sites or apps that have a "feed" in them. They are designed to fuck your brain up.
>>954612035Fucking NONE of this is true and you're not even posting a damned image (on an image board) while you sit here whining and bitching about the fact that nobody is entertaining you. STFU and get busy. What are YOU waiting for?Zoomer shithead.
>>954612692Yeah this would be a great start, but its more likely this >>954612838 is just gunna happen instead (and is already kind of happening). "Sign in with your face scan to check your emails anon, if you dont you go to jail" is where its heading.
>>954614349I meant "disuse" as in people will stop using the internet for the internet and like you say, it will just become essential infrastructure you have to carry in your pocket with you 24/7 connected to a govt database so they can track you for maximum profit (like it sort of already is now).
>>954610601If they banned the log fag this board would have the potential of being one of the best again but we still don't know why they won't do it.
>>954620878>is now my main hoe.Yeah I'm basically like this with gaming, but I guess the annoying part is you kind of have to be connected to the internet or at least adjacent to it to do the hobby. I'd probably permanently go offline if it wasnt for needing to stay in touch with friends and family.
>>954626244I thought zoomers and alphies were the ones rejecting modern technology and social media in droves?
>>954628046>Just browse more.Its a shame everything that gives us access to the internet decides for us what we get to see.
>>954630155logfag is part of the old guard is why. he spams his shit (lol) full knowing that his OC wont be stolen and reposted on other sites with a patreon watermark on it. problem with 4chan post-2016 is literally anything slightly eyebrow-raising instantly gets lift and slapped on some fag's "best of 4chan greentext" weekly youtube compilation.
>>954630424Log fag started posted here around 2021. Nice try faggot
We need new websites. I am mostly going google , 4chan , youtube and some porn . and some OTT services. I remember having so many websites to go through 15 years ago.
Hmmm
>>954631162Because of Trump everyone's turned into a retard. There is no creative thought right now. Nobody wants to laugh nobody wants to have any fun
>>954610601
>>954631330I liked niche forumns. Now everything is reddit .|Even fappening website had a funniest community of people role-playing as arabs rating actress in price of sheep.
