Just released video about how the internet has completely changed for the worse. Fascinating discussion. What are your thoughts on this?

    I couldn’t get through all the 4chan praise to be honest.

    I also lament what the internet has become in the 20+ years I’ve been using it, but I don’t agree that 4chan is a good poster child for what it used to be. I hate that there seems to be a mystique around it now like it wasn’t some amoral cesspool. In fact, the reason I signed up for Reddit about 12 yrs ago was because I felt so dirty browsing /b/

    I don’t know what sort of crowd generally hangs out here yet, but if we do manage to bring back some of the glory of the old internet, I really hope we can revive more than nihilistic meme culture and trolling.

      Browsing /b/ was the first and hopefully last time I have ever seen without-a-doubt CSAM on the internet. It took less than 5 mins to see the worst of humanity.
