Idk if this is the right community for this conversation, but it’s been on my mind and I want to share it with someone.
In the 00’s every new thing we heard about the internet was exciting. There were new protocols, new ways to communicate, new ways to share files, new ways to find each other. Every time we heard anything new about the internet, it was always progress.
That lasted into the early teens and then things started changing. Things started stagnating. Now we’re well into the phase where every new piece of news we hear is negative. New legislations, new privacy intrusions, new restrictions, new technologies to lock content away and keep us from sharing, or seeing the content we were looking for. New ways to force ads.
At one point the Internet was my most favorite thing in the world. Now I don’t know if I even like it anymore. I certainly don’t look forward to hearing news about it. It’s sad, man. We’ve lost a lot. The mega corps took the internet from us, changed it from a million small sites that people created because they had big ideas, or were passionate about small ones, and turned it into a few enormous sites with no new ideas, no passion, just an insatiable desire for money.
We’re at the end of an era, and unlike the last 20 years of progress, I don’t think most of us will like what the next era brings.
You keep insulting me because I mistook you as the very thing you hate the most, a profit seeking hustler. I still think asking about the other 99.9% is difficult to associate with the danger of oppression when the context is recreating the pluralistic internet. But now I know better.
You won’t leave the house because, without tech, the majority of humans will starve to death.
As you wrote in another thread, you want to leave the police surveillance state. It’s a bit late for that, isn’t it?
Instead, you take solace in having put a hustle bro in his place while all you did was showing that small incentives are dangerous because people find a way to hate everything.
By leaving the house… Do you have a plan or are you hoping that things work out because things are not transactional and everything can happen?
I’m laughing at a clown.
That’s very clownish of you, yes.
Yes, because your entire ideology not only fails them but kills them.
Good quotation skills. If only you would care as much as you pretend to do.
You’re such a deeply invested cultist that you seem to believe “caring” means believing in your cult.
SAD!
Yes, that’s you. Maga by spreading empty phrases. The billionaires will pay for dismantling the police state.
Read the room.
You’ve written hours of empty corporate slogans. No one seems to be interested in buying into it, which is fortunate because your ideology is burning the planet down.
They made the police state and profit from it, you ignorant creep.
Read the room. It’s me who is upvoting you.
Nobody is following this track because it’s rooted in a big misunderstanding that you are unwilling to let go. The other replies to my comment are far more interesting.
You are the ignorant creep if you think that that quote was my opinion. It’s me putting your words in your mouth. But good to know that you recognize incoherence when you think it’s coming from me.
“NO U” only works as a reply if I am doing any of the things that you are doing. I am not.
Get better material or get off the stage, corpo clown.
You used that before. Are you chatgpt? Being ignorant is not an action.
