This is place for internet olds to complain about the current state of the internet compared to the nice old-fashioned HTML sites of yore.

======================================================================================================================
My 2 chief complaints:

These sites that don't load pages but just "stream" them. This is fine for Facebook, I get it (though a [page 1] [page 2] [page 3] would be fine). But goddamn it too many websites are using this poo poo now. Do you know how many times I've Googled something, I see the loving result right there in the Google preview, and then I click the link and when I CTRL+F, it's nowhere to be found? :redass:

The Onion started doing this with their "Voice of the People" page. I used to love going through all the ones I missed and now it's impossible because as you scroll the goddamn URL changes right there in the address bar like magic and not all of the articles show up and it makes tabbed reading impossible because no one links to individual poo poo any more, like nothing has its own actual page, I gotta scroll through every loving thing ever to find it because they are somehow saving precious bandwidth by not loading what amounts to .txt files. Consider your free website never to be visited by me again! And I know it's not just me because friends of mine who like The Onion groan about this constantly!!

And what's this poo poo where I can't see a fuckin date and time on poo poo on all these web2.0 pages? "Posted 11 days ago". "Such and such commented on this article A Moment Ago". "Submitted by xyz 3 weeks ago". The gently caress?? Is it exactly 3 weeks ago? Or is that just an estimate? I'm gonna assume it's an estimate because I never see "Submitted by xyz 3 weeks and 2 days ago". And I know this is asking alot because I can't even get exact dates but what if I wanna know what time someone left a threatening message to a celebrity? Is there any good reason these web 2.0 sites cannot just use the goddamn date (and time) format like we've been using for thousands of years? I gotta sit there and do this math in my goddamn head like some kind of jerk? When someone asks when they were born do these idiots say "288 weeks 4 months ago"?? No! They say the loving date!!
