There are a lot of people in this thread who have very valid complaints about the web, but don't make any sense at all in context. This one is a great example.

There are a lot of people in this thread who have very valid complaints about the web, but don't make any sense at all in context. This one is a great example. Sure DDoS sucks but what at all does that have to do with the difference between today's web and the web of the 2000s? Today's web offers DDoS protection (optionally) and the web of the 2000s did not.
The first DDoS happened in 1996. Absolutely nothing to do with the current topic at hand, completely off topic.
- codexon 7y agoIt is way easier to ddos a website today than back in the 2000s. Back in 2000, you could block almost every ddos simply by having gigabit. Now there are millions of more exploitable devices. Do a search, https://www.google.com/search?q=stresser https://www.google.com/search?q=stresser An attack that can cripple all but the largest networks can be had for $5-10.
