It wasnt that the years themselves were bad, but they set the stage for shit that was to come years later in the post 2012-2014 shitshow we inhabit2006 - 2010 generally wasn’t a bad period for the internet. It was certainly better than the dial-up days of the early 00s, and meme culture was in it’s infancy. I remember the 2006 internet because that was when I first started using it (in 2nd grade). YouTube didn’t have much on it at the time. 2011 was when the internet went to shit imo with 9gag, the brony fandom and other cancerous faggotry. The late 00s and 2016-17 were the best years of the internet, period. 2019 was just horseshit. Hell, even politics were much different in the late 00s. Compare the anti-Obama and prop-8 sentiment then to the cuckoldry you see today from conservatives. You now have mainstream conservatives hosting trannies on their radio shows and shoving dildos up their asses.
Oh you fuckin young'ns....I remember when that shit was widely considered the most absurd extreme of how the mainstream media could spin hysteria about scary internet lands.That Anonymous report is some real heady shit though.
We were so goddamn innocent as to what was to come its actually painful to remember how I used to think back then...
