As someone who looks back fondly back on the days of IRC, things have just gotten way out of hand. Everything is about that new product, that new platform, that new framework. People don’t care how it really works or who are the people behind it. People just want money and ultimately want to forget their problems through it. Then again, I was very much into mischief and that’s how I grew up. Social media is low-level stuff that bores the hell out of me because it serves no tangible purpose no matter how hard you try. Those days had meaning to them because of many factors, but mostly because everything felt new, fresh, and not filtered through hundreds of opinions or social norms.
