Normies and web 2.0.

Everything.

Everything that could have gone wrong, did go wrong.

your outlook on the world. more is going right with the world today than it ever has actually, just not for us

Social media, Specifically twitter. Normies have little to no interest in the internet unless they find something social.

Other than social media, normies enjoy 9gag, cat videos and John Oliver (or anything to validate their simple liberal views)

Literally memes

This.

The original inhabitants of the "internet" were nerds, dorks, and outcasts. There was no social media, and no "memes". People actually had to have some degree of technological know-how in order to access certain online communities.

I'd say what made it all go downhill was the introduction of social media. Once enough people were regularly online, companies started capitalizing on internet culture, causing it to degrade. Soon everything was made accessibly to everyone. The cultures of online communities were appropriated and bastardized by those who didn't understand them fully.

If there's anything we can learn from the evolution of the internet, it's how absolutely horrible normies are.
