Idk if this is the right community for this conversation, but it’s been on my mind and I want to share it with someone.
In the 00’s every new thing we heard about the internet was exciting. There were new protocols, new ways to communicate, new ways to share files, new ways to find each other. Every time we heard anything new about the internet, it was always progress.
That lasted into the early teens and then things started changing. Things started stagnating. Now we’re well into the phase where every new piece of news we hear is negative. New legislations, new privacy intrusions, new restrictions, new technologies to lock content away and keep us from sharing, or seeing the content we were looking for. New ways to force ads.
At one point the Internet was my most favorite thing in the world. Now I don’t know if I even like it anymore. I certainly don’t look forward to hearing news about it. It’s sad, man. We’ve lost a lot. The mega corps took the internet from us, changed it from a million small sites that people created because they had big ideas, or were passionate about small ones, and turned it into a few enormous sites with no new ideas, no passion, just an insatiable desire for money.
We’re at the end of an era, and unlike the last 20 years of progress, I don’t think most of us will like what the next era brings.
So, again, more empty hustlegrind slogans.
If you walked out of your bubble and pitched those at a homeless person, you’d be lucky if all you got was spit on.
Like a child predator and frequent flyer at Little St. James that used “philanthropy” to wreck the United States public school system and broker eugenics experiments in impoverished countries? The one that made sure covid vaccines remained locked down under patent? I refuse.

You’re a truly disgusting ghoul
Your cryptofascism is showing.
Could you elaborate, please? You have introduced the clichee of a homeless person. Your point only works if that person has such a tough life that they don’t have the time or mental energy to spend on vague ideas.

Your Patrick Bateman LARP got updated to 2020s techbro jargon, up to and including passive-aggressive contempt for homeless people because they didn’t hustlegrind or produce new tech toys for you to play with.
What is your entire post history but the cliches of a sociopathic techbro that sees other living beings as sources of profit or obstacles against profit?
What the fuck are you even trying to say here? Are you that high on your own ayahuasca-laced farts?
You are projecting. You asked about profits and you introduced homeless people as the ones who cannot handle this debate.
Now you are derailing with more insults.
Let’s stay on topic. You want profits and I suggested that you should try to build a platform to make money.
Can you handle that thought?
He doesn’t want profits, quite obviously you do (and seem obsessed by it), you’re the only one doing the projecting here - along with posting pitiful platitudes that’d make a shitty linked-in life coach delete their post in shame
What he did is ask you, literally, what you had in mind for the 99.99% of people that don’t win the tech innovation lottery
Winning in that context meant creating something exciting, for everybody.
If he then asks what everybody but the winner gets, besides that new exciting technology, then what else does he expect but profits?
The corporate surveillance police state that techbros and their bootlicking fandom (like yourself) have forcibly enclosed around most of the western world is certainly for everybody, isn’t it?
Your fixation is on profits. I said no such thing about such sacred holy profits. You’re a liar, or you’re so deep in your hustlegrind techbro cult that you can’t imagine motivations, or even life itself, without such sacred holy profits.
“NO U” would only apply if I was doing what you were doing. I was not.
Your rails were going nowhere but through a circus. Of course I’m going to point and laugh at clowns.
The topic of this fucking thread was, quote, “Internet developments have gone from exciting to dreadful.” And you brought your techbro hustlegrind clown circus. So you derailed the thread in this comment chain, clown. And now I’m pointing and laughing at the clown.
Where did I make that request in this thread? Not everyone in the world is a Patrick Bateman LARPer like yourself.
And I suggested you lay off on the techbro hustlegrind shit if you want me to stop laughing at the clown.
I’m laughing at the clown, so yes I’m handling it.
What’s the hustle? When I say that OP should try for himself or when I reply to your question, suggesting that the created things could become the reward?
Don’t you believe that the fediverse will grow and that there are still many opportunities left?
I sincerely think highly enough of you that I’m certain you’re just lying at this point. You’ve spent hours proselytizing about techbro innovation and even invoked your favorite billionaire pedophile as a patron saint of that innovation. That’s a hustle, or to be more exact and less flattering, a grift.
Yes, that’s a derailment that invalidated everything they said by adding even more steaming techbro bullshit to the pile they were already saying they were dreading.
That’s a bad-faith loaded question that is attempting to associate any activity here with your particular brand of corporate bootlickery and billionaire worship.

Bill Gates stan to mask off fascist any% speedrun (8 hours, 3 minutes and 33 seconds)
Where is the fascism? Should I ignore the reasons for homelessness and pretend that it is a normal state of life? Have I missed the memo where people are voluntarily homeless?
