I remember when normies didn't have regular acess to the web it was a golden time
>communities forged from actual passion >no hashtags >sjws or Zig Forumstards >women didn't have access to hordes of betas, worshiping them > >meme's or internet fads were memorable and took time to make Not everyone knew how to use photoshop/flash/or after effects back then. >you could troll people and the police in small towns didn't know fuck all about ip addresses
The only downside is that you had to download everything instead of streaming and tutorials for 3D art and shit were rare.
>The internet? Isn't that where geeks go to fight about Captain Kirk? Yes. Yes it is. Or at least it was. Fuck, it was autist paradise in the good ol' days.
Web design was definitely not perfected yet, but god damn those home pages had soul. People made shit because they cared. There wasn't a dime in it for them. No begging for hits, likes, and subscriptions. No clickbait. Just pure honest OCD obsessions with games and anime.
>I remember when normies didn't have regular acess to the web it was a golden time No you don't. You're a teenager. Internet was built by normies, and only used by normies for a long time.
Caleb Flores
This is so hilariously wrong.

>No you don't. You're a teenager I am not a zoom-zoom
>Internet was built by normies, and only used by normies for a long time It was mainly used for military application in the 50's sure, but I am referring to the 98'-07'ish period
There weren't any dumb whores trying to get dudes to subscribe to their onlyfans or zoomer swagfags using stupid lingo describe shit.
Camden Adams
>There weren't any dumb whores trying to get dudes to subscribe to their onlyfans or zoomer swagfags using stupid lingo describe shit. Yes there were. Attention whoring and porn on the internet has existed as long as the internet has. You are obviously lying. You were not even born in 1998.
Alexander Campbell
No seriously, they weren't around! Either that or I missed that entirely.
Sure there was llivejasmin, but no one with any sense went there.
Myspace when it popped up was where girls hooked up with much older dudes.
It's not to the point where e-girls literally do nothing on camera and get tips.
Carter Wilson
i remember being a pussy and always going to the comment section before watching a video on youtube because there were so many jumpscares. old youtube was wild, i kinda miss it. now theres mainly just drama, people trying to be relevant, and just in general using it as a job, y'know? its not like most people on there make videos because they want to, it's because there's a profit to youtube so now so much of it is just soulless
Sebastian Ross
youtube? They had that shit on ytmnd years before that.

Cellphones killed it all, if you think normies werent around back then you're just some zoom larping. There were still your attention seeking whores and all that just everything was significantly less. Internet has been corporatised and concentrated since then, killing the soul you mentioned, but the mass access to the internet smartphones gave was the beginning of the end. If only there could exist 2 separate spaces with one for phonefags. Too bad that cant happen and the fact zooms are the lowest quality human to be brought into this world, even worse than boomers
Zoomers are literally trash tier, I much prefer literal boomers over them. Something fucked zoomers up in a major way and I don't know what it was for sure.

>if you think normies werent around back then you're just some zoom larping.
No I am dead ass serious. Depends upon what you think a normie is.
>a non-creative or non-programmer or >person with no passions in life that who's only goals are existing getting married, watching the big game and getting laid. or >human being with goals in life,
>Smartphones No one really had one till like 2010 my good fellow >act zooms are the lowest quality human to be brought into this world, even worse than boomers
I agree.
Ian Taylor
>No one really had one till like 2010 my good fellow well yes, this was when things died. Came hand in hand with consolidation on the internet
Jayden Walker
You can check the quality of your average zoomer quickly by looking at the average post on the top 5 traffic boards
Blake Gomez
What the fuck brought them all here, I'd been away for some time and now it's like a fucking daycare
Nolan Lopez
Zig Forums , reddit , hiro wanting more traffic for ad revenue
Sebastian Bell
I honestly thought it was the chanology that really fucked things up. Ytmnd and Zig Forums going after Scientology really brought in the masses.
Zachary Cooper
things have been fucked for years, you'll get different answers to when it began snowballing
Brody Perry
All I know is that it's fucked now, I think I might be too old for this place at this point, it's far different. Just edgy teens using old buzzwords
Dominic Myers
it died in 2016, i only come back because of traffic. What do you expect when the shots are called by a japanese jew who looks at the site once a year
Jaxon Nguyen
But nowhere near the same volume that are we can observe in the present day.
Kayden Cook
was dead before that, even this board devolved into lose league dudes clamouring onabout not having a girlfriend.
Mason Brooks
Zig Forums died when it was revived in 2012 and flooded by tfw no gf fags
Benjamin Scott
that shit is so irritating, this site brainwashes zooms.
Luis Young
peppers. sheesh
Kevin Stewart
you act like the internet is entirely made up of e girls now. the only time i ever hear about them is when i browse instagram, which is almost never. OP it seems like the reason you think this is the case is that you use normalfag apps, not because there are actually so many of them out there
Caleb Rivera
No I hear about them here, I hear about them on the tubes when I am working and some random video comes on my playlist.
I met a girl at a party on New Year's who was an E- girl
Kevin Wright
Online dating and hobby forums use to be a lot better for sure.
I actually held conversations and even met with people I had a genuine interest in back in the day. Tinder and the massive influx of normals into online dating has absolutely ruined not only online dating, but the sexual market entirely.
Hobby forums are now dominated by shitposters and paid sponsors. Indie titles and niche development can only be found in degenerate corners of the web now.
People can argue normals existed back then which is of course true, but internet communities were by and large stigmatized not that long ago, and did not contain the massive amount of normalfags as it does today. They absolutely 100% ruined the internet.
Ethan Baker
not to mention it leaked over irl. 15-20 years ago not as many people were as politically motivated.
Anthony Martin
agreed, I remember alot of old forums for 3d artists. They made them from the ground up.
