Ah, the greatness that is having to farm kudos once again because obviously, tedium or money, most people will just pay money.
Surprised to not be surprised.

In this context though, should we not be glad that many choose money?
Beats having to plaster adds all over the website to pay for the hosting.

yep. True that.

You're absolutely right. Unfortunately, I don't think we will ever go back to those times.

Nowadays, I don't think people even 'surf' the internet anymore. I'm not even sure that's a term younger people know. I remember thats how cool sites were discovered. I think there are still sites like that in the corners of the internet, but even searching things on Google is completely different from the past.

Algorithms curate everything for you, whether that's influenced by businesses, or etc...

I'm also led to believe the "dead internet theory" where half the internet is bots but that's a whole nother conversation.

yea, many old forums unfortunately closed.
some partially migrate on telegram

As someone with background in finance, I can empathize with ever bloating budget more than I would like to. I just hope some stable state would be reached soon and feature bloat avoided.

 

[Allosa]

Yes bots .. especially now powered by AI GPT .. pollute the internet lots now.

But a lot of humans are posting crap too as they vie for "influencer" status.

And social media breaks the old forum model because it turns everything into one big ocean of undifferentiated "content" that is then mined to optimize "the feed algorithms" and feeding the AI bots.

This is how I am feeling right now

Bots are just half the problem, what piss me off is the wannabe influencers or people that have single digit IQ yet feel the urge to flood the social media with crap.
now even reviews on restaurants are an issue, many times they leave one star review just because they did not make a reservation and the place was full or even worse they leave a one star review with something along the like of i did not eat there yet or i went there late and they told me the kitchen is closed, how dare they!

Spoiler: Mod summoning

Guwnknime! Come here and help me summon today!

*Grunts happily*
*Start to grunt some kinda incantation*
Ohhhh mighty mods, come to the thread, show Guwnknime how you do mod stuff!
@Guz89 - The Masked Mod!
@Shawnchapp - The Purple Mod!
@BeowulfKnight - The Ghost Mod!
@mime - The Silent Mod!
And @Slumdum - The Oompa Loompa Mod!
*Confused grunts!*
Oh, yeah you probably didn't know yet Guwnknime, I've moved up in the ranks, still a T. mod though, but I'm getting there.
*Question grunt*
You... You want a part from me too?
*Nodding*
That's not how it works, remember, you weren't created by me, you got summoned by "accident".
So we don't, what powers actually created you.
Anyway, maybe we'll find out someday!

Summoning is complete!
