Enough of this Web 2.0 Facebook, Youtube, Twitter horsehit!

I want


  • Obtuse user interfaces

  • Byzantine page structure

  • Insular communication with people I will never meet


Is that too much to ask?

OK boomer. Do u mean "Twitch, Insta, TikTok" horseshit? Bcos Facebook & Twitter are only used by Karens now.

Seriously though I'm with you. To paraphrase Dice;  infiltrating the millennials is like masturbating with a cheese grater - slightly amusing but mostly painful.

In a year of studying their ways I've learned a lot, but not as much as I've unlearned. I question if people get slower as we age, and suspect the noise of youth may be using the same bandwidth as the part of our brains that allows us to realise our potential.

And may we please add "pre-agrarian monetization" to the list? Life was more fun when people would go online and be an asshole for the love of being an asshole, not to make a buck. Back in our day we'd have made the island boys song just to annoy people.

I came back here tonight after watching a decent video about "Dead Internet" theory, and was elated to see this comment.

As sleepy as stripcreator is, at least I know it's "alive." I know this because this thread isn't 4 pages long with bot-generated responses.

Here's the video, if you're curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEIZHlfjAT8
