Most people use the Internet only to see and do stupid things. It seems that it has got even more stupid year after year. Can it get any worse or have we reached the ultimate low?
it will get a whole lot worse before it gets better
>>52586686
Is this fucking real? Tell me it's photoshopped
>>52586686
We definitely haven't reached rock bottom yet
It can, and it will.
The amount of mass and the intelecual content is inverselly proportional. The more people on internet the more retardet it will get
Internet will be like TV in a few years

Books aren't dumb just because dumb books are bestsellers.
Movies aren't dumb just because dumb movies sell the most tickets.
The Internet isn't dumb just because dumb YouTube videos get the most views.
>>52587135
But all of those things mean that people are dumb.
I don't think it really matter how much dumb content there is on the internet. If people want it they'll get it. What I think is worse is that ranking on search engines can be basically bought and sold. The first results on google are often trying to sell you something or push some agenda.
>>52587195
Maybe. Not everyone consumes media for the purpose of intellectual enrichment, though. Some people are just coping with life stresses by vegging out on mindless shit.
>>52587195
This is a terrible attitude to have. Who even cares? You're shitposting on 4chan right now upset on how people use the internet for "dumb things"
>>52587135
This guy gets it. Don't use it for "dumb things" if it offends you OP. Then chill out about what other people like.
>>52587195
Well, yeah, most people are dumb, duh. So dumb shit gets promoted the most. Just look at most popular / trending music on any major site. It's mostly either nigger music or chicks' whiny pop music.
For example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLGVWurlVG8
This has to be the worst piece of shit music I've heard ever.
It's all been going down in music since MTV started promoting "black music" in the late 1990s. We never escaped that black hole in music, we're still in it, listening to shit like that ^

Spend enough time in the real world and you'll find that alot of people, while not really dumb, are not at all self aware and eventually their bad habits compound on themselves exponentially as they continue through life thinking that there's nothing they can do about it. Saying that people are all stupid is a clear sign that the speaker is stupid but it's undeniable that most people dont think as far or as well as they can.

You can find quite a bit of educational stuff on youtube. Just cause the front page caters to the lower denominator doesn't mean you have to consume it.
>>52588260
It's not that they have bad taste, it's that they have NO taste, there's a big difference.
>>52587451
As opposed to listening to Rock 'n Roll music, which is a rednecks re-interpretation of black music (Jazz/Blues).
Just cause you don't like something it doesn't take away from the fact that its art and generations to come will worship stuff you hate - see 12 year old kids collecting vinyl records from the 60s-80s.
The internet probably ended with you OP.

I think printed media is kinda important. There's some pretty dumb stuff that gets printed but at least you have to try more than you do online. If someone doesnt like something you do online you can just complain and get the attention you were seeking the whole time. Fucking sickening.
The quality of the internet is inversely proportional to the number of Apple devices connected to it.

I saw an infographic here a few weeks ago that showed the decline in internet usage diversity from 2004 or something like that, it was basically
2004: around 40 highly used websites
2007: around 20
Now: around 7
The only intelligent part of the Internet is gopher and WAIS. It's been that way since 1993 and hasn't changed.

That is a pitch shifted version, but still pretty awful. Kanye West has made some good music though, his first two albums aren't bad.
The obvious solution is to flee to I2P or something else that requires a modicum of intelligence to access.
>>52588912
You're right, using the 'N' word is a sign of sophistication and impeccable taste, he most likely listens to Philip Glass or some such high brow 20th century composer.

Blame the children for feeding cancer like PewDiePie.
Blame the plebs who only use the Internet for social media.
Blame the Jews for trying to make web advertisements mandatory.
Blame the webmasters for selling out to make a sheckel.
Blame the government for trying to censor the Internet.
Blame the pedophiles for abusing the Internet.
Blame the hobbyists for giving up.

With internet people want now more content regardless of quality. That's why we got these daily vblogs and let's play channels.
In other words people doesn't want wait for "premium content" that TV would delivery.

I dont understand this post.
The internet has always been plagued with this kind of "viral" shit, its just that the "viral" shit adapts to its enviroment, it changes, today it is reaction videos, yesterday it was porn (also today), tomorrow it could anything (and porn).
Cancer is one with the internet, sometimes it is from your liking, sometimes not.
>>52589630
shit the original has almost 4m views as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QImBolnTVH8
i think what this shows is that people are actually gravitating away from popular music. popular music is only popular because it's disseminated through the usual channels, but the internet is good at showing where people's real tastes lie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8-vje-bq9c

your taste is shit.
but that's not the point, the point is indie artists are getting just as much of a following on the internet as big industry stars, indicating that exposure is not directly proportional to popularity.
remember when the internet used to be like the wild west?
when posting your real name online was considered stupid and foolhardy?
when the majority of people using the net were white males aged 18-40 with some sort of technical education/employment?
now the inernet is filled with the lowest common denominator, trash, scum, the mindless and uneducated, some of us have already moved to a new net we created to preserve the old ways, and if you're smart enouigh, and deserving, you can go there too
>>52589830
>your taste is shit.
You have no idea what I like, and that video you posted was edgy guitar noise, and some dude screaming into a mic. And my taste is shit. Lol.
>>52589830
He's objectively right though, that music you posted is trash
I bet you watch chink cartoons too
I only use the internet for shitposting, porn and music.

I think It's an extremely great social experiment.
For years people have been blaming TV networks for their lack of success due to brainwashing them, wasting their time etc.
But in reality these people are just degenerates that have migrated from mindless TV to mindless YT content.
It proves the point that people will seek out these mind numbing shows despite it being detrimental to their self development. That it is infact the peoples choice not the broadcasters manipulations.
Fourth nostalgia shit thread in just two days! When will this butt fucking retarded age meme end? I'm thinking never!
I don't usually say we should split the board up due to it turning into reddit, but we need a containment board for this, or an automover to >>>/vr/
no other board even comes close to this explosively flagrant nostalgia garbage and it's the one board where it shouldn't have it at all due to 10 year old tech being near-worthless due to moore's law. But I guess it fits in if you're a retarded contrarian hipster who has to always use some outdated piece of shit, "ironically"
I'm just curious what you expect out of these threads? Let's just play into your mentality for a bit and answer "yes" to everything.
>Was the internet better in xxxx?
>Yes
>is the internet dead?
>yes
>is normies normiez normiuz runing muh intejasf?
>yus
And the question is, what's after the "yes"? What are you expecting to get? There can be nothing gained from these questions or threads besides virtual dick jerking.

IQ is a bell curve. If the average IQ is 100, there are as many people below 100 IQ as there are above.
Walk down the street. Statistically speaking, half of the people you pass have an IQ below 100.
Welcome to the world.
You're an idiot. There's plenty of useful and important information on the internet, it's just not viral on social media and similar sites. I pay about $60/month in subscriptions to shit that's worth reading. With sponsored content and shit, you can't be a teenager like yourself and expect to just accidentally stumble upon interesting info. The only thing you'll happen to stumble across is shit.... You have to really look (and sometimes pay) for the really good stuff
>>52586686
The thing is: yes it is pretty damning how people use the internet for inane things.
That does however not mean that you must use it for bullshit, too.
The only downside is that you will have to be more vigilant when searching for stuff online. The upside is that even though there is more stupid shit on the net, there is also more good stuff available. Relatively, the good stuff is getting smaller, absolutely it is just more good stuff.

Back in the day, geocities was a meme way for people to set up their own website. Hardly anyone knows about neocities. OF COURSE the Internet is going to go downhill when 10 years of custom-made history is lost.
I would wager spreading custom-website awareness would help.
>>52592383
People would only use neocities if they could profit from it.
