When exactly did the internet go to shit? Or has it always been gradual
What a little impoverished planet!
>>109615602>gore retracts concessionlmao really? you're allowed to do that?
boycott imperialism in any form, whether it comes from china, russia, europe or the united states.
>>109615602gradual but the biggest shift was the boom of social media aka facebook in 2010-2012 which brought foids (read attention whores) onto it, later the destruction got sped up as more browns got onto it.
>>109615602Things were ok until the late 2000s. By 2016 it felt increasingly less organic, and by 2020 the transition was complete.
>>109615602Quality dropped off a little bit around 2012 as corpos started to rethink the internet in response to the average normie getting their hands on a smartphone, then then a lot more around 2016 through a combination of bots, wokeness, and normies becoming completely dependent on the internet. And we're now experiencing a third drop in real time as AI saturation continues to make finding actual human discussion harder and harder
>>109616062this. Cosmic Panda was the internet's 9/11
>>109615624Conceding isn't really a legal thing it's just some politeness thing. When trump lost in 2020 he never conceded either.
>>109615602The moment people started demanding morality from it and call for regulation
Boomers. Jews. Christians. Liberals. Tech entrepreneurs. All ruined the internet.
>>109615602on of the reasons i love this site is because the interface is stable and sane
>>109615602>never heard of the eternal september
>You've got normies!AOL was the turning point. Once they connected to the Internet, there was no going back. The iphone was the fatal blow, but AOL had already started the cancer.
You can reliably pinpoint it to the release era of the first Iphone.
The Chinese have it right. Ban everything outside your own sphere. The West could really do without Indians clogging up the pipes.

>>109615602I think it really started in 2015 and then massively fell off a cliff with covid, that's when mass censorship & (((they))) started to go mask off. India becoming #1 on the internet surely hasn't helped.
>>10961890590% of the problems could be solved by banning India, Indians, Israel, and Jews from the internet.

>>1096156022000 was the most consequential presidential election in U.S. history.
in my view it was when everything converged into 4-5 different sites rather than a lots of smaller sites, forums, etc. of course they still exist but overwhelmingly people just go on reddit facebook instagram twitter whatever. i think a few people here have rightly suggested when the smartphone dominance kicked in and it became "app based". i fondly remember tapatalk even though the UI was garbage I could go on and find some cool forums for things I enjoyed. now it's algo based and corporate controlled.
>>109616062the real reason was snowden. the IC realized they could no longer spy on americans with government dime, so they outsourced to silicon valley and bankrolled all of the unprofitable lines of business like youtube, facebook, reddit, and of course 4chan to name a few. it's also no coincidence that gov moved to sign COPA into law soon after snowden leaks.
>>109616062sounds about right.. for me it was around the time when google discontinued reader, July 1 2013.
>>109615711this and corpos seeing they can make easy money
>>109618987we need a fixed version where this guy pushes for religion that he cant prove instead

>>109615602>When exactly did the internet go to shit?It started in the early 2010s with sites like zero hedge starting to utilize bots, but the big shifting point was 2016.
>>109615602Basically when everything became centralised, up until the 2010s if you were interested in something, you went on some niche internet forum that was written in plain html, now you just go to Reddit, videos for YouTube and so forth... The big corpos capitalised on this and the internet was more accessible and you no longer needed a huge brick and massive grey CRT, also back in the day, the internet was just a hobby, now everyone is side hustling, trying to get your attention 24/7 and making the internet unbearable.
>>109618987>"we" vs them>doesn't realize that tech nerds have always been the weirdos out therenice shill narrative, retard.
