Judging by the catalog, zoomers seem to fall into either transfaggotry or alt-right reactionary camps, all feeding on the same increasingly hyper-compressed "brain rot" that feeds into itself. I dread to imagine how the fuck Gen Alpha is going to turn out. And that's not even taking into account the material reality of not being able to get a wife and kids, a house or a job that isn't low-paid wageslavery or a job waiting to be replaced by AI.

These days, in retrospect, I don't know if it really had a lasting effect. I feel like if internet access remained like it was in the late 00s/very early 10s, the hell we're in wouldn't have progressed so far.

>>6157459
>I feel like if internet access remained like it was in the late 00s/very early 10s, the hell we're in wouldn't have progressed so far.
How would it remain the same as soon as politicians started claiming turf on the web, while hating that the people are using it to make it clear to the whole world what they are thinking instead of merely repeating the old-media's narrative?
Formerly their reach would have remained limited to their direct connections in real-life, and party-dependent people prevented their words (contradicting the party's narrative) from ever reaching further.
So effectively government-funded in-name-only "NGOs" started attempting to correct the people's way of thinking on the web to "protect their democracy" - how could the web remain the same? Their fucking lives depend on "their democracy" (read: their party) collecting enough votes every few years.
The people aren't organized (and frankly said, it's probably better this way), but the actors in the political-medial sphere are interdependent to no ends, which is probably a bad thing ultimately not working in the people's favor.

Honestly I feel like the fan culture around the cartoon horse show was the last hurrah of the old internet, everything else was in the process of morphing into the slop blob that we all know and love today but those guys were out there cranking out tons of silly animations and songs and every other kind of artistic pursuit purely for the joy of creating something in a shared cultural space.

You have no military to speak of, your culture is trash, and you got food like mushies peas.
Don't take credit for what your ancestors did, because that is not what you did/doing. There is a wide gap in your fortitude and people like JRR Tolkien who fought in the battle Somme.
Meanwhile israel (my country) has a much more resilient culture, people and willingness to reproduce and fight for the future.
It was not jews nor jeets that nationalized and socialized so much your country is feeble and not willing to reproduce. I have coworkers i know (not jews) that ran from london because they were sick of not being able to use a phone in public cos it'd get snatched. Your parent did it to you bob, and you are stuck trying to revive a sick old horse that just wants to die.

There's no "death" of web 2.0 as it's just an infrastructure for people to interact online. What you actually meant to say is you refused to grow up because you're an irresponsible pathetic manchild who still clings to his childhood. It's not like you actually create or contribute towards internet culture, then and now. It's not like you've done anything to archive and preserve the cultures of the past. Instead all you've shown us is you're a self-pitying faggot who can't take changes, both in your life and the imminent evolution of technology.

There's a difference between "remember when" and feeling superior towards others because you were born earlier. Guess what nigger, I grew up in the 2000s, and the older folks don't get the stuffs I was into, and I can safely say the same about that when they were younger and how my grandparents treated them. You've become just like the old fart who yells at the cloud, but the most ironic of it is you've ZERO self-awareness of it. I'm surprised that you've no killed yourself since you couldn't and refused to adapt to the changing environments.

Youtube would've done fine, more traffic means more users which means growth which means more money to buy more traffic, etc. Just look at Netflix for a similar example where growth just compounds on itself.

The real problem is the copyright problems. Netflix just shows licensed stuff, no problem. Youtube started out by just letting you upload whatever. Movies, music, gore, tv shows, etc. Just make it 240p and under 10 minutes and like 100MB. Be nice and you get to upload in higher resolutions and full hour videos. Random people uploaded entirely tv shows in multiple parts. I remember watching Full Metal Alchemist that way for almost the entire run of the first show. I don't even remember ever thinking once "this resolution sucks ass" or "this is really heavily compressed." I just enjoyed the free anime and the recommendations would just feed me the next episode with minimal effort. 10/10 viewing experience, would waste teenage years on it again.

The only way a site like that doesn't get taken down is because they're tied up with a company like Google who is extremely keen on bending over backwards to ensure the site stays up because they knew they were sitting on a golden ticket for data mining if they could make it work.

At an odd crossroads where there's knowledge and familiarity of various sites, videos, terminologies, inside jokes and the like but you try to mention any of this to someone a year or two younger and they give you an empty listless stare, as though there was nothing before the scroll machine arrived at their doorstep, fully-formed, before going "ah yes that old thing.

You can be born around those years and still have encountered forums, Flash games, YTMND, Newgrounds, imageboards, niche websites, etc., during their decline. Or maybe anything past Usenet doesn't count? Saying I caught the tail end is not the same as saying "I was there from the beginning." I remember enough of the old web culture to recognize it, but I'm young enough that people slightly younger than me don't. All I claimed was that cultural references can disappear surprisingly quickly even between people only a few years apart in age. I don't see the reason to get up in arms as though I'd said something entirely different. I guess that's the other thing we've lost. Conversation, even through the shitposts and flaming.

I said tail end. I meant tail end. I'm not claiming I was posting on Something Awful in 2003. What exactly is the framework here? What's 9/11 have to do with it? Is geopolitical comprehension part of this legitimacy requirement now? By your own logic you weren't really there for the 90s internet unless you understood the Clinton impeachment, the dotcom bubble, or Microsoft antitrust, which is stupid, which is why nobody applies the standard to themselves. A kid on Newgrounds in 2005 was on Newgrounds in 2005 whether or not he could explain the Iraq War. Again, the point I made was that cultural references decay quickly across even the same year ranges. Someone three years younger than me doesn't know what Saimoe is.

in '95 i do remember printing out a list of ultimate mortal kombat combos when it released off of gamefaqs which had just started that year too. saturn version if anyone cares.

still use gamefaqs to this day to find little secrets in games i completed long, long ago that i might've missed.
and holy shit i finally completed shadowman 100% and it's one of those rare cases where it would've been impossible without a faq (they used to make some games an absolute cunt so you had to buy their guidebook too).
as a rule i never use them until i've completed a game but fuckin hell shadowman is obscure and confusing, no wonder i gave up on it when it originally came to pc.
fuck the gamefaqs forums though, never looked at it until a few years ago out of curiosity and quickly left, absolute shithole

Yawn. Take your own post and read it yourself, faggot. I don't use your shitty politics threads and never will.

if anything's a derail it's talking about the 90s in a thread that's supposed to have 2000s and early 2010s webms

Not sure if Doc and Mharti is too nsfw for this board, so I'll post this instead. But the comments on Doc and Mharti from zoomers are borderline retarded.
>What. The. Hell.
>i know damn well the whole budget went into that dudes dick.

>ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING
>Most of it was funny but like ewww mharti aka morty pleasuring doc aka rick shanchez which is basicly porn

>??
>wtf was he on.. "proudly presents" bruh

>Gross
>Tf I just watch that shit was not funny

Rick and Morty is basically a sanatised version of Doc and Mharti, and yet these niggers are offended and disgusted? The generation where onlyfans is a genuine career choice, the generation that has algorithmic rule34 smut blasted all over social media, the generation that had youtuber/influencers going around harassing people and filming dead bodies? That generation?

>wtf
>Really gross and vile, but funny

Even here when they get the jokes they still have to qualify it.

I think it's one of the final connecting steps to troonery that swallowed up all of geekdom. It was a cartoon for little girls and it didn't have the barrier of "well actually it's animation for adults in japan" like certain anime shows did, and when faggots started enjoying directly instead of, I don't know, a jolly jaunt through innocence(?) I knew something had permanently shifted.

Mine didn't. But the fast food place down the street had Kirby.

The longer I think about 00s internet and tech and the longer I look at the modern internet and smartphones, the more I think it's an irreproducible moment in time. There were so many little nuances and idiosyncrasies, so many little worlds, so many things that cannot work today. I mean, looking at those bullshit psuedo-old school internet forums where it's just a mish-mash of bullshit from random eras without any long form posts, just "vibes" and "aesthetics".

Kinda amazing how individual places had their own slang and terminology on the internet or IRL and now everyone talks like a nigger across the globe.
