I didn't hear a peep from this guy when they banned my nsfw tumblr. But now he's going to complain that the internet is boring and stale.
I'm a freak but I love looking at Google streetview pictures. If I have nothing to do at work I can spend hours looking at different places.
WRONG. i go to hexy bear for my funs 
I felt this constantly since social media
The only other place worth looking at anything is TikTok. If you aren’t on TikTok rn the internet sucks ass
The only places left to engage with people are so tightly controlled and stuffed out the asshole with ads that it's a completely miserable experience
I guess I'm easily entertained. I feel like there's tons of shit on the internet. my latest thing is learning crafting techniques for making my own house decorations/art. there is an insane wealth of knowledge among everyone from MFAs to like crafty homemakers with cheap ways to stain, manipulate/shape, and transfer images to a variety of materials.
I'm currently eyes peeled for a transparent plastic globe I can tent with modge podge and food coloring to make my own pendant light fixture. but for now I'm painting a weird elephant I found at a shop for cheap, and then I'm gonna black wash it or maybe even dry brush it with metallics to make it look old and valuable.
I do, but I also wonder how much of it is just getting old and having adult stuff (not the fun adult stuff, the "responsibility" stuff) constantly getting in the way of manic bursts of following rabbit holes that I remember doing way back in the day.
Nah, I've been on the net since USENET and it really is worse than anything before, even the flateups of flash ads and listicles only ruined things for a month or two.
Now even platforms with "fun" things still available, like you tube and twitch are fully enshittified. And Tik Tok has entered its terminal phase with no clear platform to replace it, because online ad revenue has cratered.
We're in the collapse imo and the businesses are stripping out the wiring while they can.
I dunno, I'm an adult with no real responsibilities and I can relate. Then again I am depressed as fuck and might have generalized anxiety disorder and/or PTSD. But I dunno, I'm kind of bored of this shit. The infinite dopamine drip of low-quality "content" just isn't actually fulfilling.
SAME. IT SUCKS. Like I refresh pages hoping something fun somehow pops up but like....
I dunno what we are in now but the old web was better. 1.0 sucked. 2.0 was good though. You had all these nich communities bubbling with energy and ideas. Now it is just reddit and psyops and comodification.
Part of it might just be because that was the dawn of an era. Like when I was a kid the Iternet wasn't a thing. Then it became a hobby, now it is a part of life and capitlaism is working on making it as miserable as possible to use.
I’ve been trying to set up servers and make homebrew little websites for my kids to try and capture some of that magic. No luck so far.
Luckily I have the answer, all you should do is [content only available with hexbear premium, for only 8.79 a month]
The internet may be shit but at least I still have my three extremely specific niche forums that I hang out at and a tumblr art circle dedicated to making pictures of video game characters gay kissing with tongue
