"Why the internet isn't FUN anymore"

What a load of shit. The Web was never "fun"--right from its raw beginnings in 1994-95 it was full of bullshit, crazy people, and crude attempts to make money and sway public opinion. Mostly this is just another whinefest about Twitter being Musked into the ground. Anyone who thinks Twitter was ever a "great place" is a fool.

The wonderful internet brings you memes like this one. (No I did not create this. Wish I know who did. Saving.)

Internet was kind of "fun" back in the day when it was more mysterious.

Things were not so easy to find and with fewer content we had a somewhat limit on what we could find. But now it's much easier to find stuff.
