You know what’s bullshit? Articles like these. They all mash together a big list of unrelated and cherry-picked problems and pile on complaints and cynicism.
With how long this piece is I honestly feel bad for the author for wasting so much time on the endeavor.
What purpose does an article that’s essentially a gigantic list of every recent corporate scandal serve?
On top of that, toss in the tech geezer’s “back in my day page load sizes were small and now everything is bloated” take we’ve all heard a thousand times. Like, holy shit please stop my phone has a 100Mpbs+ cellular connection, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage I don’t care that websites are 7MB.
There’s nothing actionable about this monstrosity and all it can do is make you upset over a bunch of random shit you can’t control.

- dangus 4y agoOh my god please stop. “And they had more functionality” lmfao which cloud provider had more functionality in 2000? Which cloud provider existed in 2000? Funny joke though I’m dying over here. Hold up I gotta go install Macromedia, Java, RealPlayer, and enable ActiveX.
