Can also include the habits of internet users as well.

One is people who have a video worth sharing, but instead of uploading the video as-is they think it will be fun to try out some editing app and play director. So they remove the audio replacing it with some trash song, slow down certain parts and do some other crap.

Like dude, if we want to watch a movie we will watch a movie. If we want to watch a short video clip online of a fight or something funny happening most of us just want to see it at normal speed with the OG audio.

Also the concept of monetization and how desperate a lot of people are for their content to go viral so they can get fame and money. As well as people acting like dicks and doing dicky pranks, it's led to so much staged/acted content being passed off as real to have attention. Helped by engagement-farming accounts on social media and even some trashy tabloids.

The thing I hate most about the modern internet is smelly pajeets like OP, as Indians could not ever make technology on their own, they had to buy a lot of white people technology to be able to get online, and then all they did was ruin the tech sector and shit up the internet with shilling for India how they are better than you for shitting in the street because "using a toilet means you'll get a skin disease"

We have 10 threads about this already with more than 5,000 posts in them each, OP made this thread to try to get his vote score back up from negative from all the India shilling

I hate how its become more and more normalized that every fucking thing wants you to make an account or link with one of your existing accounts, even if there should be no need for it, which turns good things to shit. A good example is "wego.here", which was a nice maps alternative that ran fairly good. Then they suddenly decided "OH no, Stalker child!, you need an account for this now!1!".

Oh, and also stinking pajeet scum.

I'm old enough to remember and miss the days when people said "the internet treats censorship as damage and routes around it".

That was an often repeated proverb supported by plenty of anecdotal evidence. I used to be a Libertarian and said it a lot myself.

Never figured there'd be an international conspiracy of governments and big corporations doing it. That was crazy talk. But here we are.

That's what I hate.

My old internet theory was that CSAM was going to be the lever used to finally completely censor the Internet. Here we are in 2024 and "mean words" is enough.

What I dislike about the modern internet is that there are so many good, standard ways to interact with people (consider IRC, FTP, etc.), but we throw 'em all away to use corporations' walled gardens.

Everything about it.

Especially how the modern Internet and real life are now indistinguishable. You have no voice and the hive mind dictates how your life will go.

Which in this case is fucking terrible.

Agree.

In early home-internet days there was a separation from real life and online, and the internet was mostly on desktop PCs or laptops with only the nerds having internet access on other devices.

Now everyone has a smartphone with internet, now it's even on fucking watches, people used to look at their wrist for the time now it's for messages and shit. What next, Elon Musk wanting to put chips in our brains?

Classic Indian noise-generating tactic right here.

Note how he waits a while and makes sure the thread is dead.

Then he bumps it with a vague wall of text where he is "Agree"-ing towards some unknown person.

Then a nothingburger sentence to top it all off.
