i've had screens and computers as my private escapes since ever and there was always this sense of wonder and of discovering new things and making new sorts of interactions be with the screens and its very users. gaming has been grand part of this in a sense, the communities, modding, clans and the amount of interesting people i've taken for granted that appeared to me as i walked my way within communities of every game i played is something i'll never get back. early days of social media, forums and chans were also so great, there are many discussions, memes, images and more niched kinds of topics that i've bookmarked to this day, and in the entangling of this something always lead me somewhere else, as a sort of mirror being broken which made me kind of schizophrenic and also with a higher threshold for excitability, and as i've dig so much i caught myself inside the infinity of the web, until i lost myself and realized those things are beginning to fade. since the pandemics started i realized how ephemeral the internet was, my bookmarks are 50% of what it once was, most of sites no longer exist or were taken down, a lot were forums, blogs, and certain sites with utility driven content. many "miscellaneous" or offtopic weird sites are also for sale or behind a wall of sorts, if not straight up dead. the "www" as it is nowadays is pretty much a composition of META and Alphabet, and whatever remains to this day is botted up by a lot (this is if it's even an interactive site at all.)

since botting and artificial intelligence went up there was an increase in involuntary seclusion of certain spaces that are still up. i won't talk about how A.I and modern algorithm are altering the way normies think and their ideologies, i've kinda of talked about this in another topic, but for remaining places such as 4chan, the botting pretty much drives lurkers away from being potential users, and within the interactions of the site itself there's this high chance that most interactions aren't being made with humans, which is noticeable after awhile, making those places even more secluded and dead. even the usual search engines people use aren't operating in a normal way, it's not only the mass censoring and taking down of things but it's as of now utterly unable to find specific keyword strings as it did back then, it kind of mirrors (as in giving you back) what it thinks that you mean, and not what you meant to search. it was pretty neat and there used to be loud awareness about how great the indexing were because search engines could find any weird concept you were thinking of, now it isn't like that, and affects what sites, whatever they are about, that you can find.

but well whatever they (the powers that be) are about, this is all pretty worrying to me because i realized there isn't much escape from my stupid reality and life, and whether i could try to move onto another thing (such as anime or whatever) i've hard time doing so for finding a lot of hobbies past my mental age, and since i am neet i don't even have the money for hobbies that aren't bound by digital piracy in someway. this isn't to offend or anything i am just stuck with certain affinities that don't match with those things, and as time passes i get increasingly bored by the "web" and computers are synonym to pain for me now, which is a loss for it was once the only thing i cared for. but yeah, those things are making me have to try reality, and no matter how i try, it isn't for me, there's nothing for me in reality, and now there's nothing here either. it's the type of thing that really makes me suicidal, because no matter how shitty my life is there was always this escape in my screen.

The Internet technically died in 1993, look up "Eternal September" 🤓

But yeah, I've noticed a big decline too, even as a 2005 zoomer. Indians getting Internet, the increasing presence of bots, corporate bullshit, yada yada yada. It isn't going to get better.
nomries ruined everything
