The internet sucks now!!!! * 1
    #27018154 - 11/02/20 07:27 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

I hate how the internet now is so corporatized. The internet has become just a few social networking sites, a few shitty newspaper sites that are all opinion based, a few biased conspiracy theory sites, a few corporatized marketplaces, a few of other types of sites and mostly everything else is just a copy paste plagiarized replica of every other goddamn web page found on any old search engine. Blogs have all gone to shit now. You can't find really good recipes anymore. The Internet is just a shitty fucking place now and it's really pissing me off. The internet used to be so big and vast and easy to do research on but now it's a really small place.

This all started right now because I'm trying to search the internet for help on how to get a stuck windshield wiper blade off and I'm about ready to snap the shit broken just to get the shit off because I can't find any help on the internet. Every other damn page is a copy paste plagiarized version of the last page I went to and all the videos on YouTube suck. These guys are only giving directions for blades that are not stuck. My blade is stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! I'm pressing the tab on the bottom of the blade and it's not doing shit. I hate the internet. I think I'm going to go back to O'Reilly's and tell the worker to put it on for me.

Anyway the internet has turned a shit. What do you guys think? I think the internet was a lot better in the 90s and early 2000s.

Shroomery and dmt-nexus are the only cool websites on the internet now.

Having unlimited access to information has made a lot of people dumber than they were before. The internet was great when only a few million people were on at a time instead of every single person on the damn planet.

A closed mind keeps the air out of your head and puts a stop to any unnecessary bleeding.

Keep an open mind, but not so much that your brains fall out...

The internet is so vast. It's as amazing as it is dumb. If you think it all sucks, you probably aren't using it right.

I get 1gb/s down and like 250mb/s up for $69 a month. The internet has never been better.

69 is a fitting price to pay for internet access

Indeed. Like my wife always says, "you better put the fucking PornHub on if you want to get laid."

She's a lovely woman.

The internet is so staggeringly big, I often drift for a half a day or more from site to site just reading and looking at random stuff.

If you don't like the way the internet looks to you, don't use Google search and block Alphabet trackers, and Facebook trackers. You don't have to be a corporate product.

'90s/early 2000s websites do look better. They feel more real.

Get Facebook Container, Privacy Badger and uBlock installed on your browser. Search for something interesting with a long search string.

If you search for "dog food" you will get a corporate result every time. If you search for "tasty dog food made from beef fed cows locally" you will slip past those coveted top 10 corporate spaces in search results and open up the not so hidden clear net. Same with any search on any topic, use long search strings.  :thumbup:

Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

I have Mint Mobile. They use tmobile towers. I have unlimited everything (but only 5gb of hotspot) for $30/mnth. I pay up front at $360/year+taxes. Their $15/mth plan only has the minimum gb of data but still unlimited talk and text.

I use Firefox browser, I actually already have a global adblock dns but I do use ublock and Facebook container. I never heard of privacy badger. all of my phones are rooted except for this new one that I'm using because it is a Motorola and I don't want to void the warranty yet. It is the g-power that just came out with the massive 5000mah battery.

I'll try using longer and more specific search queries.

Longer searches for the win  :thumbup:

Yeah I also use Firefox browser, on Linux. A large part of the job I do requires research, cutting through the bullshit on the internet and getting to the good stuff. There's a hoard of people trying to cash in on the net but in the background there is an overwhelming amount of cool stuff going on. People who just want to communicate and have a good time, ideas people, small businesses, small people who haven't thrown $1000's at search engine optimization... Reading about "tasty dog food made from beef fed cows locally" lead to Russian tasty dishes, animal husbandry and the BARF diet just in a few minutes. I almost got sucked into the vortex, gonna go watch a movie though, no time for the abyss right now.
