    Is that really “the old Internet” though? That seems more like the Internet from like… 15 years ago maybe? That’s definitely not “the old Internet” lol I’m pretty sure people still do this don’t they? I don’t have any real social media accounts anymore so I haven’t really kept up with it

      The internet from 15 years ago is the old internet for anyone under 30.

      And anyone over 30 is obviously a Boomer so we can safely disregard their perspective.

        Fuck man, my oldest is 15 now lol. He’s about to be the same age as I was when I was first dating the girl that I’m with now.

        I disregard everything anyone says so maybe that’s either delusionment or enlightenment. Time will tell

        i would place the old/new internet divide on the commercialization of smartphones. Not on the user age but how we got online. Internaut profile too has changed from people who work with computers + gamers to anybody

        Smartphones changed the internet after 2007

            it’s the smartphones that rose social media

            when people started posting while waiting for their shit to come out, shit started oozing on these lines too

            excuse my misanthropic moment here
