There aren't any websites left, boomer forums are barely active.

FUCK. FUCK I HATE IT. Then all the glow niggers and jeet streetshitters posting rage bait from their shill farms with looney tunes stink lines radiating from them putting holes in the fucking ozone layer. All the funny twitter accounts are banned or stopped posting or just use it as their mundane blog.I literally now use the internet to listen to music and play online games and come on here to say the N word, which I already did, there's barely anything left thats organic

aye, it’s kinda funny how, Obama kinda aired in the new wave of internet, when it went to shit, and we only had a slight window, bout a year and a half top, when Trump ran and we memed him into the White House, thus making the internet fun again, something that won’t happen again, at least not till AI get really good, and then it will be more akin to closed boxes then a open web.

>>529302697
In the future there will be an ai service that has its own branched off internet that looks a bit like the way back machine, except it will analyze you in real time to determine if you actually belong there, aka the normie filter.

Ai agents will not exist in that branch off, but they will be optional. You can turn them on and off and when turned on, only you can see them, or others if they also opt in. But you can also just select to have abunch of fake agents on the branch that nobody can see but you, allowing you to interact with them to your hearts content. There will be cool bro friend agents, and girl agents who actually want to fuck you


The board will feel like 4chan around 2005-2009
One thing I’m looking forward to is Ai creating its own mysteries and ARGs in such a service. Like there will be random fake news that some redditor girl got murdered and you and other users will solve the fake crime over the internet.

Around 2011 when tumblr began fostering what came to be known as social justice warriors. Suddenly there were a ton of women screeching about rape statistics, misogyny, the patriarchy, etc. I distinctly remember girls I knew transforming into pissed off man-hating feminists that would actually lecture me about shit they’d read on tumblr. I think it’s ground zero for what evolved into all the leftist shit we now have to deal with every day.

It wasn't been fun since like 2013. Part of why trump was so popular was it temporary reinvigorated memes. It was the last gasp from the corpse of image macros, though, and that's why we're still using the same fucking pepes and wojacks from a decade ago. We hit peak meme and will never recover.

>>529302472
for me it was trump's 2015/2016 run. that's also when people became less fun and everything got hyper political. I was just trying to enjoy college while also studying really hard for my stem degree, and everything just went to complete shit around me. freshman and sophomore years were alright, though. the internet and technology in general before that was just so exciting. I fucking hate it all, and I work in tech.

>>529310171
most of that was before my time (BBSes and all that), but I think that they aged out or something, or just said fuck all this clown world shit and just became grandparents cruising around the world or going on vacations or just working on their projects quietly at home.

it saddens me at times when I have to use the waybackmachine to access meticulously curated war history sites with photos and stories that were compiled by site ops from for example the early 90s until the 2010s or 2020 when the sites stopped updating then went offline.

like the guy died, his buddies are dead, and all their stories just vanished and now because it's only available on archive, that's it, it wont show up in standard search results.

and I dont think these people are being replaced at a sufficient rate, most youth today (I say this as someone who's still in my 20s) just want to be influencers or social media clout chasers. not to mention that the rest of the internet is full of indians and minorities and idiots, so they won't get interested in the internet like this. imagine someone who is curious about electronics. you used to go onto a niche site or forum, and people were nice and supportive. now if you make a single post on reddit you will get downvoted into oblivion and get banned if you dont have a troon flag avatar.

the internet just sucks, after us, there will be no more text at all, only slop video content.

>>529302472
Normies, politics. We train admirers dont take things very seriously, to a normie the ego experience is life and death. They basically came to our fort and shitted everything up and after decades of deriding the internet decided it was actually fine. Ehat can you do against a wave in the ocean tho, blame the moon, move on? Honestly none of it belongs here; the e-ecelbs, the celebs, the marketing, the hoard of ductile cattle ( no offense, dear reader). Gravity shifted thats all
>>
>>529310171
Well in the case of /pol/ devs decided to get super serious about moderation which is why it feels like an empty shell. Probably the feds who use this site as a honeypot and the other organizations who use this site to train AI got tired of constantly filtering out silly threads. So today it's no fun allowed serious business only.

well I first came here when I was below the posting age (people in the net cafe used to use it a lot, but this was 20 years ago), these days I think people probably see screenshots of posts from here on xitter/ig/xhs/etc.

thats another thing that a lot of even national type forums have gone under. fl@shback and some others are still around. for these types of places, they all seem equally dead, from dv@ch to ylil@uta. intelligent people from advanced nations just dont want to be online anymore. there are some chinese forums that are pretty active still but even those are turning more into people just using mobile shit now.

~2011-2: Occupy Wall Street happened, forcing the powers that be to control online narratives, pushing political correctness and LGBT tolerance, to take peoples attention off of Wall Street.
~2023-6: people criticizing the gaza genocide forced the powers that be to force online age verification (and thus ID checks) on every online platform, and soon on an OS level.

Google Search got fucked up because the Google Ads people were put in charge of Search to increase profitability. So they intentionally broke it because people who can't find something will try another search term; which means another page load, which means more ads are shown.

I always knew the internet- youtube, TikTok, Facebook etc- would become cable TV. That was inevitable. But what youre proposing im not so certain of. A side effect to them, a core feature tho, is that now literally everyone has a pri ting press. It completely devalued pre-internet sources if information, and cant naturally be controlled ( it requires high levels of energy to control the internet, and even so it doesn't really happen). I think, and im being honest here, that this time its the powers that be who will have to accede to a new way of being. Not that they will change inherently, only that they will have to accept their way of doing things has a new landscape feature. They have to listen to shit talk and criticism now

both renditions of the internet are bad. having to deal with a bunch of dumb fuck barely sentient yanks in the internet before-time was as obnoxious as all the BRs, jeets and russians you get on there now. and by the way, you yank fucks were always libtards, so don't even pretend. back in the late 90s early 2000s internet it was considered a taboo to be a republican voter, and not because of whatever you could rightly criticise about bush, it was likened to nazism, like now but worse. at least in the current age of the internet there's a counter culture to this shit and we don't have to sit around listening to a bunch of fat white liberal yank fucks and their beaner hangers-on cohorts dictating the rules and parameters of public discourse. american hegemony is pure fucking cancer, always has been.
