    There is a 0% chance you were an adult in the early 2000s lol

    I’m 49, dude. And the meme isn’t about “the internet”. It is literally about the difference between people sharing stuff back then and “creating content” today. Shitty internet parts have always been shitty, but at least people didn’t try to monetize even their beloved ones’ death.

      Then you should remember these days more accurately.

      People make social media posts instead of geocities pages these days. Content creators are more like the people who used to sell content online than they are the average chucklehead who made a geoshitty page.

      People you see with lots of Twitter followers are exactly akin to people who ran pages on free hosting websites. When they link their merch, it’s exactly like how blogs and shit would sell merch.

      Youre looking at this with glasses so rosy they’re completely blinding.

        So should you. Remember when ads were just static banners? No, you don’t. Don’t pick a point in time that fits your bias and ignore the rest, mate. Might turn your glasses as brown as your take is shite.
