Thats the crux of it all. The a lot of the funniest videos 15+ years ago were just random videos on random accounts. There was no monetary incentive, so a lot accounts were just people who luckily captured something funny and uploaded it. Creative stuff felt authentic too, they were not chasing a trend, they were just trying to show off their original skills. I still love a lot of what we have today, but it is getting buried by trend chasers.
Feeling sad from the debt you’ve racked up paying for digital clothes for your avatar in what can barely be described as a ‘game’?

I don’t think there will ever be a place like the old web again. Lemmy is better than reddit, but lots of the crap from there is just as common here, stuff that really wasn’t as common before. I’m absolutely certain a disturbing amount of people say dumb shit, make spelling mistakes and stuff like that simply to get “interraction”.
Nowadays its all about monetization :/
Lemmy is kinda refreshing and reminds me a lot of the early internet/reddit.

Enjoy your technical downvote

I can’t speak for everyone, but I post more frequently here than I did on reddit because we gotta get those numbers up.
Just with a lot more communists
