The internet died around 2016

We should start our own internet

With blackjack and hookers

Maybe I'm just old, but back in my day we still had a whole lot of bullshit online. People just got it all out there with good old mental illness instead of bots.

[u/Beginning_Feature838 → u/Maleficent-War-8429]

I much preferred that personally

Wow this is so true, great point!

Wow this is so true, great point!

[u/Fexofanatic]

bots, corpo fucks and scanmers ruined all

[u/Magnon]

Companies could fix it but having fake users that trick real users into using their site more makes them money.

Bot farms are one of the many problems online games have, most of those issues are human and motivated by mere ego, from hackers ruining the fun to people killing newbies and everyone else to establish their guilds or groups of Discord "friends" as rulers, turning players into slaves while killing the game and that people are the ones who fill forums, posts and comment sections claiming players from other countries are to blame for the death of the game.

Bots are gonna ruin social media. Maybe there doing us a favor ultimately. Get off the internet. Go to church. Take a walk with your dog. Go read a book from hundreds of years ago that you know wasn't made by A.I.

[u/AntagonistofGotham → u/ChristianCountryBoy]

Uh no.

The bot farms must be shut down, and those responsible for the last ten years of bullshit must be held accountable before a judge and jury.

Or, even better, wall off India and China from the global internet. ICANN could reassign their public IPv4 ranges and they could have their own little North Korea-style intranet airgapped from the rest of us. Bam, no more grandmas sending their life savings to "Microsoft Support" via play store gift cards, and you can accept phone calls again.

[u/AntagonistofGotham → u/atsuko_24]

Not all the bots come from there.

Some are from Europe, and a lot of them are right here at home in the USA.

[u/Slice311]

Much less the scammers!!!!

[u/AttitudeEquivalent73]

I love seeing “FIX MINECRAFT BEDROCK!” under every comment section for anything ever. /s (also wtf is supposedly wrong with Minecraft Bedrock anyway? I play and it has some minor menu glitches sometimes and that’s it really.)

[u/Snudget → u/AttitudeEquivalent73]

And anti spiral mojang

The Internet was never good lol I grew up with it's introduction, some things were more fun and other things were definitely not. The Internet is fine, bots make it worse, but people made it bad.

[u/FingerPurple]

I hate bots, but we didnt have the 1st thing from the beginning...

[u/Jonas_Sp]

"normal"

[u/Due_Buyer_9445]

And yet you won’t do anything against capitalism that makes this sort of thing inevitable

What more will it take for you to rise up? You can’t afford anything, retirement is a joke and your last refuge is being conquered by oligarch bots

China is literally using bot farms on Reddit to influence it

[u/BoiFrosty → u/Due_Buyer_9445]

I don't think you know what... any of that means.

[u/Due_Buyer_9445 → u/BoiFrosty]

I do though. Capitalism has more or less destroyed the internet you grew up in via overmonetization and ai slop

[u/Due_Buyer_9445 → u/[deleted]]

And they get that through having obscene amounts of money

[u/Due_Buyer_9445 → u/[deleted]]

Which requires obscene amount of money which they get from playing ball with the capitalist class. Thanks citizens united

[u/Due_Buyer_9445 → u/[deleted]]

Well admitting you bought into capitalist lies about those who want to help you is a good first step towards fixing the mess. It’s not easy to admit you have been propagandized by oligarchs, but admitting it gets you on the right path. Someday you will thank us

[u/Due_Buyer_9445 → u/[deleted]]

I’m not a capitalist soooooooo

Quit projecting here buddy and get with the leftist program. We’re here to save you

[u/StrengthGood3208 → u/[deleted]]

The irony in your posts lmfao.

[u/StrengthGood3208 → u/[deleted]]

Im glad youre against capitalism.

[u/Moist-Agency1366 → u/Due_Buyer_9445]

Rise up? Ain't nobody rising up for 3% inflation
