There's plenty to talk about.
No.304414
>>304413I think the real bots are those who post a new thread every 2 weeks about how "The internet is dead and there's nothing to talk about". All you need to do is start a conversation about anything. If that doesn't appeal to you, then it doesn't mean that there's nothing to talk about; it means that you're bored of talking about anything and are better off getting away from forums. Stop confusing your own personal disconnect with social environments as those social environments being baron.

Internet? We should call it India+ now. There are only a couple of sparcely populated boards and forums left which I will not link.

i've been perusing peoples' shitty sites on neocities and nekoweb lately, reminds me of what the internet should be like. also been adding a bunch of neat blogs i found to my rss feeds. not very interactive, athough that means the likelihood of encountering bots and / or rajesh is fairly low.

Hard to find good communities now. Even this site seems to be infiltrated quite heavily. I see so many posts that would have resulted in immediate perma bans just 10 or so years ago.

No.304472
>>304471Nope. Quite often those dumpsters have amazing items. For example there was a computer store that made employees throw away stock. Nothing crazy but a ton of memory sticks, controllers etc.. I would do it more often but it's quite popular these days as the economy in my country is incredibly awful compared to 10 years ago - more people are doing this and it's mostly for food now.

>>304408The internet isn't dead, it just been curated by corporations/governments, flooded by low quality content by grifters, shills, talent-less hacks, attention whores(the worst kind) and copycats.
While these people existed back then as well, they used to by outshine by genuine talented people. Now it's the opposite. Quality content are now like gems buried under mountains of garbage.
We now live in a world where people like IRATE Gamer thrives and people like the Angry Video Game Nerd are mostly unseen, while also being milked by copycats/hacks/corporations for ideas.
You get ahead by rehashing stuff, people like MillenniaThinker, Lord Wojak, Low Budget Stories and hordes of other similar "creators", makes a living by using wojak from 2010.
Just make a silly story with images of some wojaks, get 1 million views and ad money from google. Your story doesn't even have to be your own, can just be a "we have Joker(2019) at home" kinda thing.
It pays off more being a talent-less hack like these people than to be original.

It's turning into a vacant internet. There aren't even bots. Just nobody. The media is even reporting that people have resolved to return to analog forms of entertainment and the internet has been deemed cringe. I am just a schizo talking to myself.

I have perma blocked most of the sites I used due to being too cancerous but I find myself with a low activity webring site, wizchan and some twitch group. I wonder where one is supposed to go. Offline 24/7? some Discord/Steam friend chat?

>>307624>I guess because people can't afford to host anything now.Nah, it's just easier to use existing services. Need a forum? Make a subreddit or Discord, it's free, takes seconds, everyone already has an account and it has all the moderation tools you need. Need a personal blog? X/Twitter will reach more people than you could hope to reach with your shitty SEO. Want an imageboard? You can make one for free on 8ch and you don't have to ruin your sleep over CP bots.
It sucks because there's no sense of discovery anymore, everything is ruled by AI algorithms that serve whatever they want or think you need.

>>307624they wake up call was a while ago I installed NoScript as a means of making my web browsing more secure when I heard all of the remote executables you could launch with JavaScript. Now every fucking website is blank on a browser I run with NoScript. You gotta bend over and let your privacy be fucked just to watch silly videos. Now its getting worse where not only does everyone want you to make an account using a gmail, but they want your fucking phone number. Pretty soon they are gonna demand your credit card number and enable an autopay function by default just to have an account.
No.307678
>>307677>emote executables you could launch with JavaScriptYou need to have those executables on your system, the script on the browser needs to know their exact path, and all modern browsers ask you to confirm before a script on the page can communicate with something on your system. If those executables communicate with the internet they need to have Windows give them a firewall entry which is asked upon the first time they're launched.
>You gotta bend over and let your privacy be fuckedHow dare them allow you to use their website for free. The nerve of them to do so and require basic information about your browser required to give you a webpage that works. The absolute freaks they must be to not offer streaming HD content while accommodating some dork who purposely chips away at his browser functionality out of his misguided phobia about being datamined or something. You paranoid privacy shizos are the ones killing the internet.
