If Kiwifarms goes, I'll still always be a kiwi, and will take that attitude wherever I end up.
I'm a bit older than Der Ooperator, but I had the exact same experience. The golden age of the internet consisted of sites that were just some guy's idea and a bit of HTML. They came up with a cool concept for a website, launched it, and made millions. That kind of thing doesn't happen any more. The closest thing would be a "killer app" idea, but thanks to globalism a Chinese company will create a competitor clone the instant they become popular and then win the popularity battle because they have more money to sink into a marketing campaign. Unless you were a full-fledged, independent adult by maybe 2005 at the latest, you missed the boat. And that boat isn't coming back.I first started using the Internet at about 9. I saw many websites that were just ideas propped up by individuals or two brothers, and they became massive cultural phenomena from basically nothing. Newgrounds, MySpace, Runescape, and 4chan all fit into this category. I realized very young that I wanted to try and be one of those people. Unfortunately, those people were my age when I was a kid, and they all got out at the right times.
