Normies destroyed the internet.

Back in the good ol’ days, there was Usenet, which was before my time, but reportedly very based and mostly populated by high-IQ people.

Then, in the late 90s, there came the AOL users, who shitted everything up.

This was soon followed by phone users and social media in the late 2000s, permanently fucking up everything.

The problem is the format. Phones are too accessible and easy for absolute mouth-breathing dipshits to use. Back when people had to get a desktop machine and hook up a modem and all these other peripherals just to get the damn thing running, there was a bit of a filter that kept the absolute lowest common denominator retards away.

A Blackberry or an all-in-one touchscreen device like a modern smartphone has no barriers between the user and immediate internet access. The terrible typing experience of using one’s thumbs encourages the use of a clipped pidgin English, written one half-formed burp of text at a time. This encourages self-righteous, insipid, and polarizing banter in place of introspection and analysis.

The internet has been swarmed by tweeting twats and blithering Phonediots, with their terrible mainstream liberal consoomer politics and their cat photos and their political correctness and mandatory sensitivity and stultifying, humorless, self-serious gravitas.

Normies have consolidated most of the internet’s discussion on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube comments, and then, corporations have exerted despotic top-down control over the things people can say online, and the normies, content with safety over freedom and even actively contemptuous of the lawlessness of the early internet, are perfectly fine with this.

It didn’t have to be this way. It still doesn’t. We need peer-to-peer social media networks to BTFO corporations and put an end to centralized control of discussion on the internet.

If this isn't a copypasta, you are sorely naive in how much of a drudging political slapfight usenet/BBSes were. And the Fediverse has already proven that it's basically just a worse Twitter, just look at the Fediverse thread.
 
I'd have to say the worst kinds of normies are posers, who have plagued mankind since its birth.

I'm not just talking about The Offspring song and wiggers either. I'm talking about all of the faggots who hang around scenes and hardcore places and ranging from surface to intermediate interaction, fuck everything up because there are those who not just don't learn about anything about whatever subculture/interest they're in, but those who are mild sociopaths thinking that surface level to intermediate shit is enough for them to fuck off with to make themselves feel cool and amused and entertained before they leech it to death and go onto whatever else new thing they can be parasites off of. These shitheads don't find intrinsic value in anything and don't take anything seriously unless it's their lazy ass ego and their bottom line.

Rather petty of me, but these faggots have infiltrated video games and anime fandom long ago and helped to bring about both layabout know it all ignorant loser and weeaboo faggotry online and helped to bring about the end of days when people had the will to make their own pleasant part of the internet through personal fansites. Now it's just a bunch of consumerist dipshits who want a retard fanclub for being "the smartest fan" or some shit.
 
Because most of them are selfish, narcissistic pieces of shit who only care about their own desires. They invade hobbies and demand that they change to fit their standards. Most of the time they don't support said hobby/entertainment medium and will bitch and moan until it is changed. Their tastes are 'normal', meaning they want everything safe and padded. They don't want to be challenged in any way. They want flavorless gruel and they want you to eat it to. They also make no attempt to understand anything. They have little to no critical thinking skills. They'll just consume whatever they're told to do so and fight on behalf of multi-billion dollar corporations who would strip them alive and sell their organs if they could do it. They enjoy their ignorance and revel in it.

This doesn't go for just entertainment. Normies 'FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE' but have no idea how it works and complain about useless shit like diversity or making shit easy so they can readily digest it. They don't want to be challenged in any way. They want to sit on their ass and have everything molded to them and for them. Normies are fucking scum. Hypocritical, narcissistic crybabies who can't think for themselves and want everything catered to them and are puppets of corporations.

The problem is that the big platforms and social media have sucked all the air out of the room. If you want large audiences you have to submit to some shitty corporate controlled experience. Even if something objectively better came along, it would have a very hard time getting a critical mass of users. So you have the blue checkmarks and other fucking retards on Twitter/FB/wherever more or less pushing the "discourse" into the toilet it's in. And any alternative turns into shit like gab.ai where the only people using it are literal Nazis nobody else can stand.

What profound thoughts! Pray tell, how do I not become this normie?

By seething, coping, and dilating.
 
Personally I tend to view the internet as so seperate from myself as to be almost irrelivant, calling people normies works on the fallacy I place special value on anyone online.
 
The problem lies in escapist culture I assume. When you want to get away from people in general, the last thing you want is a crowd.
