Kyanka posted:My experience with Reddit and my experience with 4chan, if you combine them together, is probably under eight minutes total. But both of them are inadvertently my fault, because I thought they were so terrible that I kicked them off of Something Awful. And then somehow they got worse. same, i'm glad that someone is finally showing a little

the internet is going to be the third world war. there are like bombs going off in the crypto currencies, and the gnashing of keys. the Internet should have a do over after the metallic cleansing, but this time where all rules are put up at the start: no like button! no right click button! no bad bad mark zuckerborg, and app software will be free software as in freedom!

They left out my quote when I said the internet was good back when there was a learning barrier to using it, and you had to do a little research to figure out what the gently caress you're doing, but now any retard can use it, and they're the ones who use it the most
