I don't enjoy the Internet any more

I feel like there has been waves of losses.
- Web 2.0 upgrades made everyone feel like they had to have a shiny polished site. We lost a lot of fun amateurs.
Once apps started getting pushed websites started to get abandoned/empty. everything from shopping to small games. I shouldn’t need an app for the coffee shop.
Bots and bad search operators made looking and finding a chore.
Insta killed blogs, suddenly everyone wanted a insta or YT brand rather than a blog/rss
Everything became sponsored =- say i wanted to find out how to polish my boots, the first 3 pages and everything everywhere suddenly tries to sell me boots.
This is why i no longer enjoy the internet.
You kinda are yelling at the cloud, dude
Replying to @Apocalypteroid@lemmy.world
Just because people remember a measurably better time doesn’t mean they’re yelling at clouds.
This wasn’t even that long ago.
Are you 12?
Edit: I have been regretfully informed that I have in fact, missed the joke lol.
I regret to inform you that you have missed the joke.
Oh god.
That’s hilarious lol.
Thank you internet stranger.
Am I 12? Physically - no
It’s ok, as demonstrated by my complete miss of your joke, we all 12 out here sometimes.
(Shakes fist:) Goddamm cloud! Git off my lawn!
