nobody downloads software anymore. Your web browser determines your computing experience more than your OS in 2019.

system crashing viruses are mostly a fiction that was peddled by McAfee and anti-virus companies (most of them from estonia).
malware are the greater threat now. turns out that killing your shitty dell at home or at work is not as valuable as spamming ads at you, installing keyloggers or running crypto miners on that same shitty pc.

It's difficult to get one when you use your computer for nothing but social media, amazon, and the like.

It's no longer fun to simply fuck with other people's shit.

the only viruses left anymore are zero days when they accidentally click an ad on porn sites
Also priorities got checked, the best way to make money right now with blackhat stuff is simply just phising in the crypto community.

He is right, though, but only because 90s-early 00s consumer software was catastrophically stupid.
I don't think anyone even used ActiveX for actual useful things. It was like Microsoft went out of their way to make a streamlined entry point for malware out of boredom.
