Complain About Internet [CAI]

[Jeff]

I GIVE $50,000 to a STRANGER if he can CONVINCE me that the Mr.Beastification of YouTube isn't GREAT !!
(luckily you can also watch 4 hour long "video essays" about the most autistic subject matters like the developments in upholstery repair in the 18th century)

i miss the days when the purpose of youtube was to humiliate people like the star wars kid, hopefully to the extent that they kill themselves




i also dont like that you cant fuckin find anything anymore, like how did this aspect of the internet actually get worse

I don't have the motivation to go on a four hour tirade but yeah the modern internet sucks. This site is a little port in the storm.

I am annoyed that fallout again is a thing. I prefer fallout dead and cold. Seeing all references popping up everywhere because of the show bothers me.

[SenisterDenister]

Yeah it's surreal seeing everyone talking about it.

[Amis]

That's why it's good to have no friends, this party is for one!

[Jeff]

i dunno, i suppose everything turns to shit after a while, a reverse midas type beat that is the soundtrack of our lives. the internet had a good run so i'm not too bothered, it's just kinda strange because i've always felt like a digital man and now i don't i guess. like what's in it for me at this point huh hermano, i can either read a book and jerk off to a picture of a lingerie model like in the olden days of web 1.6/7/8 or plug into the tiktok matrix and spend my days upvoting some shit, just doesn't feel worth it anymore

OK boomer, why don't you get back in your rocking chair and I'll turn on your programs and get you some tea, god damn.

Hey teatime has the traffic increased significantly by the way to DAC? Due to the show and shit.

[Jeff]

maybe it'll remind the old heads of the existence of this site


     

[ExtremeDrinker]

Honestly, even my kids play the games, so we were looking forward to the show. I wasn't disappointed.

As for internet, I look forward to the day TikTok challenges aren't a thing anymore. And the "it's just a prank, bro" after breaking someone's phone or punching them in the face stuff. Those are the worst.

Now that you mentioned it, I'm curious too to see if there has been any significant traffic brought to this site due to the TV Show?

There we go

[jetbaby]

I ended up as owning admin of the DAC FB page years ago [long live the king], and I actually got prodded by some of The Youthes™ who were like "omg is this place alive I heard about DAC in the dusty history books and we found your FB page"

[SenisterDenister]

People still use facebook?

[jetbaby]

No, which is why it ended up in my hands. I only have it because there are a couple of humans that that's the only way I can still contact. Anyone else who was a mod/prior owner/etc have left.

[Hyacinth]

I've heard of AI bots infecting Facebook, maybe something that can be added to the FB-DAC Group

Unpopular Opinion: Captchas Are Becoming A Bit Too Popular #changemymind

The opportunity cost of the cookie consent / full page ad (on the phone) tag team was already pretty rough but now I just close tabs when there's a possibility of this triple threat, just not worth it anymore because there's like an 80% chance the page is bullshit anyway. The attention economy is a two way high-way (a too-high-road?) and I'm voting with my... Rolex I guess

I think I'm starting to give up on the internet and it feels nice, I'm a bit of a "web addict" as they say and now I'm starting to realize that fuck this shit, probably faster to go to the library and look at a book to find out the answer to what used to be a cyber query. Take the scenic route u know, smell the flowers instead of clicking on them in a 5 by 5 grid, I always fuck those up anyway, I suppose you've been on-the-line too much if you don't even know how flowers look any more, time to get off the grid and on the road.
