I miss not being exposed to every low IQ chode’s trashcan opinions on social media. And I really miss not watching those low IQ chode’s trashcan opinions influencing large numbers of other low IQ chodes into doing things like making a felon rapist pedophile our leader.
I too miss the day when the internet was for geeks and nerds, (and anyone who wasn’t never left MySpace). Now everyone is online, and the novelty has been ruined. Not to mention how much more centralized the internet is now, compared to 20-30 years ago. Everyone visits the same five websites/apps now.
The barrier to entry was real, I had to figure out how to write a dialup script for my first PC to connect to the internet I purchased from the local high school. I didn’t go there, that was just the only place in town with enough internet to resell.
It’s good that everyone has access to information now. The impact it’s had on visual arts and music really can’t be overstated, it allows artists to reach their fans directly which is incredible. But it was a different place when everyones grandma wasn’t reading Breitbart and repeating it on social media.
I agree the centralization of everyone on a handful of sites is an issue, it makes it too easy to manipulate and rig. I feel like social media was an incredible mistake but I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to put that genie back in the bottle.

That’s on you. Social media is not a necessity, it’s actually pretty simple to avoid.

Thomas Jefferson, Grover Cleveland, and Bill Clinton predate social media.
Predate doesn’t only mean that someone lived and died before something else. I predate combined Taco Bell/KFC/Pizza Huts Kentaco Huts, but I’m also still living. Like Bill.

Still alive.
So? He was elected in 1992. Social media had nothing to do with it.
So?
So words matter, buddy.

So do points, you should find one
You cheer up, pal. You’re bad for the climate.
