Honestly. Many things were so much better before.

If you didn't like it on the internet, you could just not use it. Nowadays everyone with a pulse is forced to be on the internet, even if they shouldn't.

People used to understand that things existing digitally, meant that they would spread on the internet. Including and especially incriminating stuff. Trolling people who where clueless used to be fun too. The iOS7 update campaign where people were stupid enough to microwave their phones to charge them was incredibly funny.

There wasn't karmawhoring or attention seeking, in fact you would be chastised for acting like you wanted attention.

I’m so glad I didn’t participate in any of these trends when I was that age. So many regrets avoided.

Yes, by simply not having friends.

Don’t say that part out loud!

It is my greatest strength. You cannot match my power!

No OP being a bundle of sticks?

I miss the era of SA/4chan/YTMND being the meme factories of the internet.

It was chaotic, yes, but goddamn were there fewer problems

Oh yeah? Well, uh... SHUT UP!

But probably yes, it was fucked up in a different way.

All successful by 2010.
