What the FUCK happened to all these websites I remember? Millions of decentralized sites with cool, unique designs. Every single one different. Millions of forums inhabited by nerds from every obscure hobby imaginableNow? It's just peer approved news. The same few massive corporations owning every media outlet, controlling the narrative. Literally zero fucking brain nourishment. You just soap up their propaganda instead of researching actually worthy information. We traded a vibrant ecosystem of independent voices for corporate sanitized slop
>>528500055Every country has been digitally isolated. The internet used to be international.
there was a superbowl ad claiming its easy to make your own apps and shietas if any serious non luddite were not keen to the ignominy of self serving tech decline even as soon as windows 98
>>528500055Hosting a server is a huge liability and server hosts have to deal with constant bots, denial of service attacks, and people uploading illegal files to your service, and electricity prices going out the roof. It's actually a miracle 4chan is even running.
>>528500055The acceptance of fag marriage was the first nail.
>>528500132Project Blue Beam is a plan drawn up by the US government that goes something like this:>use [technology] to fake a [worldwide deadly threat]This is the core idea behind the plan, and it was executed using AI as the technology to fake not just a pandemic, but deepfake the real targets as well.If you are reading this, you are outside of the current kill zone. Our would-be world tyrants do not have enough forces to subjugate the masses all at once, so we have been broken down into bite-sized chunks in the isolated internet kill grid. Right now, certain regions are being systematically genocided by the concentrated efforts of globohomo. You have no non-digital contact with any of these regions, and your digital contact is falsified by Project Blue Beam.One such current kill zone is Ukraine. While the rest of the world went back to “normal” the kill zones were placed in a media bubble, in which globohomo controlled all information passing in our out of the region, like the great firewall of China. Inside the kill zone they are hearing nonstop news about how the other nations are collapsing one-by-one to the deadly pandemic and that they must continue boosting and being locked down because the world is ending, all while mandatory “quarantine” is being used to discreetly dispose of the population.The Ukrainians, however, are fighting back. So the world governments are pitching in to quell the insurrection with the cover story of the war. This fake war will become a world war as they expand the isolated internet kill grid to more zones, replacing the flow of information in and out with AI constructions of their narrative.They will likely institute a draft, so they can remove fighting age males by disposing of them after conscription. Do not allow yourself to be taken by this draft; you will not be going to war, you will be going straight into the gas chamber.
>>528500287There are plenty of companies that host your site for you on their servers.
>>528500132every country in the world comes here to shit on pajeets and expose the jews.
>>528500055enshittification that's the byproduct of smartphones becoming mainstream, thus every 50 iq retard could go on the internet on it. they were too retarded to use the internet everyone else did so they basically begged for centralized shithole websites, endless streaming sites because torrenting is a monumental task for a mouthbreather, and so on
>>528500055The final nail in the coffin of the internet was when search engines transitioned to become propaganda and censorship engines. Most of the internet withered and died as it was impossible to find anymore. I have not discovered a new website in years. At this point I hardly even use search engines anymore, since they find nothing.
>>528500055>decentralized sitesA lot are still there. Old hobby forums still around and active. In US I still hit some around since 2000. Most on them are old farts but a few kids find them. Most don't, tik tok, reddit, or discord. With new ID regs discord will have migration.

Yahoo went through the same attacks as Tiktok some 15~20 years ago.They pressured the owner into selling it to microsoft. The internet has been gradually dying from the consolidation since then.

>>528500055Jews made it so creative people only post content on YouTube TikTok or Facebook Before Jews took over the internet, we had the Wild West
The internet should be for the USA only. Not much else is worth contributing from other countries.
>>528500287>he believe all this bullshit because the centralized internet cartel and their goons told him soLet me guess, you also believe it takes like a million dollars a month to run a server for an online game. Oh boy.
>>528500162>ludditefuck off faggot
>>528500055The internet you remember was before media moguls realized they could shill their slop and propaganda to normies online at a much lower cost and much bigger volume. Now it's just a corporate wasteland just the same as tv or hollywood

Most people essentially use their facebook/twitter/instagram pages to post random photos, thoughts and videos. People who are more serious about things basically monetize it by making youtube/facebook channels about whatever they are doing. I think a lot of the people who are into various hobbies also end up contributing to wiki's or message boards where they can talk about it more.I do miss the days of people making their on websites. They just had personal touches and creativity to them that you cannot teach.I run my own site. I don't make any money off of it. But at least the stuff I do should survive for a long long time. I can also say whatever I want without having to worry about mods shutting me down. I cover all kinds of stuff nobody else does and I do things my way.
>>528500055I remember when askjeeves was the main search engine.
>>528500609I absolutely ahbor modern jewgle which gonout of its way to misinterpret what youre looking for to give you commandited stuff, its beyond blatant. Ie search any animal and its likely to give you a brand or commercial product, and using it to identify plants or animals is extremely frustrating.

>>528500055Big Tech censorship sponsored by glowniggers. According to old forum owners they got hit by two things. Increased hosting expenses and denied adbux. Later they also started getting censored out of the search engines and got hit by CSAM spam until they gave up their website which would then be liquidated and centralized. By the 10s the internet was dead and monopolized by Big Tech.

>>528503453Have they finally completed the homemade hardware self hosting to get around the built in backdoors? No lie that is what I've been waiting on for over...10 years now. I'll buy myself a goddamn 3d printer so I can build my own internet connection when its possible. Only way to get old internet back.

>>528502290I had 2 websites I made in 98. The vibes in general were so nice. I got so used to shit posting in chat rooms no amount of shilling bothers me here.
>>5285000551. language barriers.2. small sites cannot handle large traffic and making money without donations or selling items is difficult.3. Scams/Hackers are a real threat, even today. They were even worse back then.The internet back then wasn't great. Sites would start off OK. Owners would see their traffic rising and either try to make money off it, ruining it, or try to run scams. Small, independent sites always (always) turned to shit over the course of a year or two in one way or another.A true old fag would remember Net Send, the old internet was full of security holes.You are not missing anything with the old internet. You would have found it boring and would be genuinely surprised it took off in the first place, let alone just how big it became..
>>528503094I like the surprise me feature.
Ooh nostalgia. All if the internet was this weird.https://computer-animal-shelter.web.cern.ch/index.shtml

>>528500132Not yet but it's coming. That's why the EU vs America bs is "happening". All by design, planned. Localized internet. Purely for control. That is why you hear the EU talking about creating their own X for example.
>>528500055Search engine optimization algorithms have destroyed the internet. Now you know. And AI is making it worse. The algorithms are machines. So AI sloppa rises to the top. The internet is going to become a soup of slop. Kind of like how all mail is junk mail, and all phone calls are scams. The only difference is that the slop is optimized to get you to stay hooked to the apps. And there is nothing else to do. I weep for humanity.
>>528505640>>528505640Fucking this.The AI produces slop for the internet. The AI scrapes the slop for 'learning'. It then produces more slop based on the slop it produced. The internet is fucked. I promise, in 5 more years were all going to be back to searching for small sites again.The irony? The statistics will still claim YouTube is still growing, as the slop cycle intensifies. It's like an Ouroboros, shitting in it's own mouth to sustain it's self.
>>528501549how many files are you gonna upload to a game? as long you filter the chat and get cloudflare you're good to gopublic forums are impossible to maintain without 24/7 janny operators, they WILL get nuked with cp and other shit
I still can't believe I witnessed most of the lifecycle of the greatest invention in human history, only for it to be reduced to a propaganda machine worse than TV
>>528502290>at least the stuff will last a long, long timeOnly until someone comes across the mysterious grey box deep in a closet or utility room and has the balls(or stupidity) to unplug it without knowing the repercussions.
>>528500609>search engines transitioned to become propaganda and censorship enginesThey are attention engines now. The dream to organize and catalogue the planet's information and make it accessible is over. This and ads killed it.Worth noting that now LLMs are doing their best to kill off search engines.>Most of the internet withered and died as it was impossible to find anymore.Some of this may be inherent to the expansion of the medium. When the internet was small you could go somewhere, even through a discovery mechanism as crappy as a webring or the Yahoo directory, and find other people who are also there to connect with. Now we rely often on big centralized websites or apps and hope that the Algorithm blesses us so we aren't shouting into a void. And search engines for whatever reasons are reinforcing that.>>528500686>Old hobby forums still around and active.The fundamental need for someone technical and personally invested in a topic to create and run forums in the first place might have been a match made in heaven. The (hopefully) benevolent dictator might be the best model for organizing niche interests and hobbies. Certainly better than the eternal hall monitorism of places like Reddit.>>528501898>GOOGLE DESLISTED THEM ALLThey brought back the forum-only search in response to ChatGPT eating their lunch but it's too little too late.>>528502717Blogs had to die to restore a more broadcasting-like model that was easier to monitor and influence.
yes things centralize over time in the absence of antagonistic forces to prevent itthat's why we made antitrust lawsthen the neoconservatives took power and now it's just two retards fighting over which international megacorps they want to support
Just be glad you were able to experience pre-gay internet.
