What went wrong?

the internet used to be almost exclusively populated by white males with decent jobs, as such, you used to be able to have a laugh with just about anyone online

now the internet is filled with the chronically-special who take themselves too seriously and dont like it when white men have fun

What went wrong is kids started revolving their life around the internet. Kids born in the 80s and 90s are most to blame. Bunch of no life losers ruined the internet

How easily accessible it became. Unless you live in some third world shithole, you use the internet no matter who you are.

there is literally nothing wrong you fucking Grandpa

the only constant in life is change, adapt faggot

But the change is objectively worse

Social networks

only from your perspective
do you realize how easy it is to make money, it's pre-dotcom bubble days for mobile

>now the internet is filled with the chronically-special who take themselves too seriously
have you looked in the mirror?

computers being more accessible

Liberals and money hungry turds.

Only normans use the term normalfag fuck off

This so much, I kinda wish iPhone never happened

Republicans and conservatives went wrong.

Born in 91, fuck off actual boomer we were the internet

Centralization. Tons of niche forums were way superior to the current state of Facebook and Twitter.

>Phoneposter

Leftards decided how to teach niggers how to use the internet to be inclusive. The rest is history.

Forums had even more gatekeeping than what Facebook and Twitter forces on its users.

It became waaay to user friendly. It went to shit around the time Tom invented MySpace

Kill yourself.

People that don't understand technology or care for it on any intimate level. That use it because other people do and don't really care about what made it great (freedom of thought/expression, easy access to resources).

the difference is that any 12 year old who stole their parents credit card could setup and run a mildly successful forum meaning a ban from one of hundreds of forums for any given hobby or a game didn't mean much, but a ban from facebook/reddit/twitter/discord/whatever also bans you from the social media you use to stay in contact with more normie friends and family
oh, and those elitist gatekeepers that bullied you on forums still get made mod on facebook/reddit/twitter/discord/whatever and still ban you to this day

Those websites have multiple competing discussion groups for a topic and it takes zero effort to create your own if you don't like any of them.

illiterates, censoring, web 2.0 destroyed yhe feel of personal home made website, these days the internet is nothing but a sales company

like I said there's the possibility that you get banned from facebook/reddit/twitter/discord/whatever entirely
with old forums you could only ever get banned from one 'discussion group' at the time, not your entire portal to your online social life with normie friends

cigars to cigarettes
something rare and for few became available to the masses

>porn went wrong
the moment internet started to fill up en-mass with porn, technically inferior people showed up and jump-started the online advertising biz.

when it was a secret club that required a certain level of tech-aptitude, internet was an open frontier of digital freedom.

that's how internet can be won back: purge the porn and the adult content. a wast majority of undesired users that contributes nothing but cancer will follow. the decline of the majority of users will force ad-agencies to follow suit and in return force bad content creators to follow, since they'll no longer be able to make enough money.

people over sharing everything

Average dumbfucks discovered it.
