Nowadays its all about monetization :/
Lemmy is kinda refreshing and reminds me a lot of the early internet/reddit.

Feeling sad from the debt you’ve racked up paying for digital clothes for your avatar in what can barely be described as a ‘game’?

Do you have trouble watching your favourite racist shows without the Imperials eavesdropping on - and occasionally executing - you? You need Nord VPN. Because Skyrim belongs to the Nords!
Internet in Skyrim… Skynet? Interim?
Yeah me too.

I’m sorry, I think I annihilated that upvote button so hard I had an integer overflow
Enjoy your technical downvote
Thats the crux of it all. The a lot of the funniest videos 15+ years ago were just random videos on random accounts. There was no monetary incentive, so a lot accounts were just people who luckily captured something funny and uploaded it. Creative stuff felt authentic too, they were not chasing a trend, they were just trying to show off their original skills. I still love a lot of what we have today, but it is getting buried by trend chasers.
Just with a lot more communists

ITT: anon realizes the world doesn’t stop changing for everyone, what once was will soon cease to be
You’ll be alright OP
All is temporary. Change is the only constant.
Technically change isn’t a constant. Eventually everything will stop changing, because all of the atoms will have drifted too far apart to react to each other, and the universe will just be a thin soup of everything that will never touch anything ever again. Tomorrow is Wednesday, though, so only a few more days until the weekend!
We don’t know that for fact, we can’t even agree on the age of the universe. Maybe there’s a big crunch
Back in my day the Internet was better, no video, we had to connect with 56k moderns, the hardware cost a fortune, most people were in AOL, we had to upload both ways in the snow, had to wait for titty pics to load one line at a time, and we liked it that way…
You kids today with your tikky Tok and your faces-book don’t understand
I remember trying to pirate Doom at some point in the 90s over a 56k modem. It was a 10mb download. I got shouted at by my parents for tying up the phone line the whole evening but I persisted. Turns out it was just the demo for Doom so I didn’t even pirate it really.
Good times.
