>>109256946When the media giants realized they have lost control over the narratives and were losing to people in their basements with actual talent and drive. So they sued everyone and thing they could claiming that everyone was stealing the shitty media made by nep babies and their raped slaves they have been whoring for years Megaupload was the other side of the coiin. They made it so that they would get the files that they want at fast speeds without being hit by a glowie cp file or viruses mislabled faggotry or gore. Everyone made money through this megaupload/megavideo made money. Then the us government went into another country and stole what was at the time roughly 20% of the entire internet over movies and music...that no one actually gave a single fuck about and didn't even make up .5% of the files.

>>109256946never.we still use bbs, ftp, p2p and irc to share files, nothing ever changed except you.I don't understand why people are acting like "ancient" web died.It still exists, I go to the same boards, irc channels and forums as over 20 years ago, not our fault you decided to restrict your web browsing to facebook and twitter, no one told you to stop actually browsing the web and using other protocols than https to get content...
>>109260147No they don't. Not really. They are missing from the internet entirely with google being absoolutely fucking worthless and killing the net through sheer unchecked monopolistic dominance and manipulation. It's bad.
