You know, a lot of the amazing parts of the internet that people reminisce about are still there. The things that _have_ disappeared are often not technically complex or expensive to reproduce. Defeatism is boring, start building things and telling your friends about them.
- wtetzner 7y agoI think the biggest change is that you can't easily find the good parts of the internet through Google anymore.
- anon1m0us 7y agoThat's exactly right! It's like the only stuff I can find anymore are ehow.com, pinterest, houzz, etc. I feel more and more like searching through google is like perusing the covers of the magazines at the checkout aisle. Lots of low quality recycled content, filled with ads and referencing other content also filled with ads. It's a huge drink the google kool-aid cult. If you want to be on Google, you need to have adwords bringing people to your site, ads on your content, popups for the ad-targeters, click-bait at the bottom, tons of overlays. Why is that all there is anymore, I don't get it. What happened to the good content? Why can't I find it anymore?
