There was a time when the internet was a beautiful, lawless place. Full of new experiences and incredible wonders. Music, people, software, movies, everything seemed to be at hand, and we felt almost unstoppable.
I feel bad for new generations that will never get to savor something similar...
That all exists still, the problem is everyone spends all of their time on like two or three social medias that are the worst the internet has to offer.
Oh yeah? Try to download something without having to pass through 3 captchas and trying to find the correct button. Now there are sites with pay walls, YouTube can't be watched without ad blockers, Megaupload got fucked and being Mega is a pain in the ass to download a file, Taringa died without dignity, Popcorn Time is almost impossible to download correctly, Rapidgator gone, microtransactions everywhere, all on war against digital copies, and to find a decent site to download music is a real accomplishment in itself. So where does it all exist still? And mind you, this is the only social media I have...
Yeah... unfortunately it happens with everything nowadays... -n-'"
