oh yeah there's the theory (which i believe is correct) that 2007 was the year it all changed -- the iphone was introduced, twitter launched, facebook began accepting non-college-only accounts
oof
all in the span of a few months in '07
big retard begin
but hey
they can steal money from those people too
influx of normies
until it's 99% normies
if you wanted to talk to people you needed to basically know how to launch a rocket ship
AIM
try teaching a 70 year old person to use a mouse
its not easy
babies use ipads
but poking a screen with big buttons is easy
reddit + twitter do not equal the internet though. and if youre winding back to 2007 then the internet didnt even have the mainstreamstay those platforms do now, so it kind of makes sense like TV regulations. im not denying what they do is overboard and to be fought against but its better to shoot energy to new platforms and other areas than lament the inevitable tide of safety chamfering of Big Social. thoughts?
for the same reason elderly people do
2007 you had myspace, news sites
umm
music
that also brought a lot of normies
multimedia capable bandwidth
once fb began accepting everyone
youtube
yes sir
youtube was launched in '05
but didnt take off til....2008ish?
back in the day, the only reason to step onto the internet was to fuck around or do business
in a big way
usenet n shit
weird basement hacker men
and now is totally ridiculous. people i watch have obviously watered down their content HEAVILY because youtube keeps adding more and more fucking rules
i had a developmentally disabled friend in 2005 telling me about youtube. i typed in "utube" and told him look it doesnt exist and he didnt counter me. thats how i realized i was the retard
newest one is you can't swear or you're age-registricted/demonetized
and i dont mean offensive words, i mean "fuck" and "shit"
so MDE being banned from youtube wouldnt make much diff
hasnt it always been that way though? news reporters would lose their job over a couple swears on the tellybox
that's the news...this is youtube
im going to invent the hy pernet
FCC
which is the next logical step
