SOMETHING happened as soon as 2007 hit and I could never explain what it was, but I felt it in my bones. It's like all the soul that 1950-2006 had just got sucked out of life.
>>154206027How old are you?
>>154206027Yeah, HE happened.
>>154206027Wallstreet AKA the epstein club AKA the jewish mafia, took over the nerd world and forced their hateful subversion into it.
>>154206055Bayformers were kino fuck you
>>1542060272007 lives rent free in your head>1950-2006forgetting that 9/11 happened in 2001?
>>154206271Ok, slopeater
Obama's presidential campaign
>>154206027There was a gigantic global financial crisis that kicked off at the end of the year and happened at the same time as a writers strike which combined to completely gut basically every single entertainment industry
>>154206027Writers strike in 2007-08, which ended up changing things in HollywoodFinancial crash in 2008DVD sales started to decline around 2008 for a lot of reasons
>>154206027It was Big Bang Theory
>>154206027I sorta agree, I remember hating most of the movies that came out during that time like HP 5 or Shrek 3
>>154206360>>154206369These, the entertainment industry basically lost all of its talent and then got hit by something that forced them to be as safe as possible while they faced declining revenue across the board. The first big wave of revivals, remakes, reboots, sequels etc started in 2007 for this reason.
>>154206420>I sorta agree, I remember hating most of the movies that came out during that time like HP 5 or Shrek 3At least the video games were still really good during that time
>>154206027>Billy & Mandy>'hateful fart cartoon'Was about to ask if was pic related, but that came out in 2005
>>154206452Then social media took off and permanently changed how things get popular (thus their funding). It's frozen monoculture in a stasis ever since where the only things with real lasting impact among the public are from no later than 2008.
>>154206051/thread, you grew up OP wow
>>154206027/co/ debuted in 07you're not wrong
>>154206789No, 2006.
>big data as an industry is taking off>market research industry is integrating with big data>someone finally realized they can expand the loss leader concept into "hook them with free/cheap service and then fuck them later">every retard starts getting a personal 24/7 data uplink which they are not prepared for at all>all the above and then some gets combined with the already dubious 30+ years of Reaganomics style economy and investors running the show>retard investors create housing bubble>globalism takes offthere's probably more mass stupidity shit I'm not thinking of off the top of my head. it's been a long 20 years.
Cartoons went to shit in 2013.
>>154206271Come on,anon. I was in the target demographics for Bayformers i 2007 and all it gave me is an headache and a lifetime conviction that Transformers was really a franchise i coudnt care less about.
>>1542072892006 and 2007 weren't all that good either.
>>154206027Yes. Ed Edd n Eddy ended and so had everything else. The golden era was officially over so they panicked and shit the bed./thread
>>154206951nothing lasts forever, things fall from their own weight and it was bound to happen, AI is the catalyzer.
>>154206452This is also why music companies stopped promoting rock music. They found bands too unwieldy to manage compared to pop and rap acts.
>>154206027>birth of social media and the mass adoption of the internet through the smart phone would start to kill off the wild west identity the internet , It also helped with making digital and streaming more common which decreased physical media sales, and basically killed off the idea of everyone experiencing the same thing if that makes any sense since now its easy for everyone to fall into their own personal interests and never explore out of it>the beginning of the financial crisis and the decrease of things like dvd sales made companies less hesitant to make risks and pushed for more safe ideas which lead to constant sequels, remakes, reboots, and adaptations of other works that can be seen as marketable instead of doing original ideas>writers strike at the time made networks push for things like reality tv and other things you wouldn't need union writers for which lead to writing quality for entertainment across the board taking a nose dive that helped normalized a lower quality of writing that we are still dealing with today >while the big bang theory isn't the reason for this it signaled nerd culture starting to become corporatized and the soulessness of every hobby to appeal to mainstream audiences 2007 was the vanguard to humanity's downfall
>>154206027
>>154207765Also around the same time,you fuckers got obsessed by Chris Cha,,starting your deadly obsession with "lolcows" that culminated with Kiwifarms and 4chan also started to hit the mainstream (Project Chanology).4chan culture also participated in that downfall and sometimes accelerated it "for the lulz"
>>1542072892013-2014 is when millennials started putting wokeshit in entertainment
>>154208572>2013-2014 is when Gen X started putting wokeshit in entertainmentFixed
>>154208905Then why did Gen X go from making 90s-00s cartoons edgy to forcing woke in the 2010s?
>>154209055'80s-90s cartoons were largely made by boomers. You don't see Gen Xers getting into the industry in any kind of numbers till the mid 00s. There are very few millennials or younger in the animation industry at all, and those that are are raised in the industry nepobabys like Rebecca Sugar.
>>154208572The youngest Millennials were only just entering college in 2013 m8, even the oldest weren't in executive positions during the early 10s lmao. Executive positions are normally 40+ if you're lucky, typically more like 50+.
>>154209302Pendleton Ward, Rebecca Sugar, J.G. Quintel and Alex Hirsch are literally millennials
>>154208572>>154208905Yeah, ok.
>>154206027That pic sucks, makes no sense unlike the /v/ version
>>154209661>Story about how progressive scientists don't care about side effects of endless progression for the sake of progress.
>>154209661Nobody cares about your retardation
>>154209543>Four examples that all work in animation out of the entire entertainment industryAnd yes I know this is /co/, that post said "in entertainment".
>>154209661>botslop twitter sockpuppet accountsYeah, ok.
>>154207765>It also helped with making digital and streaming more common which decreased physical media salessorry schlomo been pirating since 2004 and dont plan on stopping
>>154206297We don't downvote here
>>154210821It's true though, piracy didn't really dent physical sales as badly as official streamingThey got people so reliant on official streaming that people started to forget how to pirate (or never learned) till all the studios made the dumb move to make their own streaming service
>>154209661Bullshit the book has a rant against how people ditched religion only to treat science like another religion, not really understanding or respecting it but worshipping it like a god, and based Crichton was calling the climate change narrative a scam from the start.
>>154209661These are your twitter accounts, huh
>>154210865Fuck off.
>>154206452there have always been recessions, bro
>>154211433Yes. The 2008 recession is often called "The Great Recession" because it was the largest global economic downturn since the Great Depression and just barely skirted the definition of a Depression itself, and it took until the second half of 2014 for most economies to fully recover from. Recessions have different magnitudes and this was the largest global economic contraction in 80 years.
