Before the algorithm took over, natural cruelty ruled supreme.

I don't think millennials are responsible for 4chan. That shit was a cesspool while most of them were in elementary school.
What? No.
4 chan started in highschool or middle school if you're a bit younger. Millennials used 4chan while genx invented and ran it.

I miss the era of SA/4chan/YTMND being the meme factories of the internet.
It was chaotic, yes, but goddamn were there fewer problems

Now there's 8chan, but what about future ones? Does it grow linearly (12chan, 16chan) or geometrically (32chan, 64chan)?

And to say millenials invented online bullying ...

I’m so glad I didn’t participate in any of these trends when I was that age. So many regrets avoided.

That didn't sound right, so I looked it up: Moot is a millennial. 4Chan's got nothing to do with GenX.

Yeah probably some people at bell labs bullied some people in Stanford over ARPANET in the 1970s

Generational categories aren’t real. They’re arbitrary lines made up for listicals and inflammatory content. There is every type of person in every generation, and most trends are more due to the natural progression of age than generation drift.
Comparing generations is only useful when evaluating the context in which they live(d).

wrote last edited by [email protected]Definitely not, check your timeframes. I’m a millennial and was in elementary in the 90s. Didn’t really discover 4chan until college years.

The terms are used to convey a group that would buy shit. They are not anthropology terms. They are marketing terminology used to sell you shit. I'm sure today's students like to use them in their anthropology papers though

Will it overflow? Will we have a -32768chan?

We die all the fucked up things in the early internet. Things that are now forgotten. Theres not much that kids these can do on the internet that we didn't. The main difference now is the nazi pipeline. We didn't have that.

We saw Nazis as bad and shunned them.
Gen Z and Gen Alpha created Incels.

Honestly. Many things were so much better before.
If you didn't like it on the internet, you could just not use it. Nowadays everyone with a pulse is forced to be on the internet, even if they shouldn't.
People used to understand that things existing digitally, meant that they would spread on the internet. Including and especially incriminating stuff. Trolling people who where clueless used to be fun too. The iOS7 update campaign where people were stupid enough to microwave their phones to charge them was incredibly funny.
There wasn't karmawhoring or attention seeking, in fact you would be chastised for acting like you wanted attention.
