Haha. Yeah thats fair. When I was writing my comment, I was trying to remember "when did it all change?" and settled on 2015. Fully agree with what you wrote.

Ah, you're all late to the party. The internet went to s*** in 1999! When the bulls**t Y2K hype hit, I just knew human civilization was too easily fooled and ignorant to survive what was coming. Our blip in time is almost up. The machines won't last long either, nor should they...truth is not in them, they are consummate liars.

The internet as a whole is driving people away from a great many things because of insufferable groups of people brigading. I'm just glad I got the experience the internet before it went to s*** around ~2015-2016.
