The Internet: Now in CheapAssMcDonald'sStupidFatBitchInTheTwilightZoneV ision

[Struwwelpeter]

I want to start off by saying that I am not well-versed in internet multimedia nomenclature so I may very well make a fool out of myself here.

I hate the way that the internet has changed. It's the Flash Revolution and boy oh boy does it suck like a whore. Almost every major website that we use today (Google, Youtube, various news organizations, etc etc etc) makes some usage (or in the case of YouTube, very liberal usage) of this very aggravating technology.

Flash makes the internet more difficult to navigate. It's slow, it's choppy and it often permanently obstructs your view of the website that you are trying to analyze. YouTube is a great example. You know when that annoying bar pops up, the one that cannot be removed? It seems to know what it is that you intend to read or click on and it invariably obstructs whatever that might be so that you cannot read or click on it.

Then there's Google. It's not as bad as YouTube when it comes to obstructing your view, but it's even worse in that it has a shitty Flash "drop box" on the search bar that thinks it is smarter than you are and often ends up interfering with what it is that you are trying to type by choosing some pre-calculated query that you didn't even intend to search for.

There are so many other things I could complain about but since no one really cares I'll just sum it all up by saying that I am an HTML supremacist. HTML functions flawlessly and in my opinion it is inarguable that it is aesthetically superior. Flash has plasticized the internet and turned it in to something resembling a department store or a fast food restaurant.

This trend falls in line with a general shift towards material depravity. Everything nowadays seems to be devoid of any redeeming aesthetic value. It isn't just looks, either, it's quality. Hardly anything seems to work like it used to. It's the same set of circumstances when it comes to our culture, as well. I don't remember things being this bad in the past.

And if this keeps up I'm just going to leave the internet forever. It seems like it is dying a slow and painful death, anyway. I guess it's a tragic fact of life that all good things have to come to an end, but at least I can find still refuge in foreign websites (many of whom have yet to catch on to this trend).

Face it, you will always be here. You will always be a low quality troll. You will always wank off to porn (flash) every night.

Nicely said. I agree.

I really hate what youtube has become. It sickens me. Vevo and the "like" bar single handedly turned youtube into the teenager infested cesspool it is now.

[is all mememememe with me]

i'm getting pretty pissed with the internet myself lately. its like a lot of good things, eventually big business cottons on to the trend and fucks it all up for the worse. the same thing happened to the rave scene in the early 90s. it just gets re-designed and aimed at only the hipster sheeple faggots who only use it simply cause its trendy to be seen doing so, not because they actually get real pleasure or use from it.

Alright, let's see that residential address of yours before I take it by force. My cameraman and I are going to have a word with you.

What you're referring to with the changes is Web Gay.0 more commonly known as 2.0.

The internet is over 9000x times more beautiful now than ever before.
You wanna go back to these days?

And the web uses PHP and the like just as much as flash. Would you like that to disappear in exchange for old HTML.

The internet is for porn, period. Porn uses flash. End of story.

Ah, yes, I see... Well that figures. 2.0 = progress from 1.0 and progress = gay, therefore... Web Gay.0.

Why not just disable flash and just leave websites that requires flashes to function ?

Thats what I do and I havent been to youtube for a while now ever since it started to remind me everytime I went there that my fucking browser is out of date.

Afterall ... all the sites that are worth visiting are still running on old school web thingy and there's nothing valuable is really lost from not visiting site that requires flashes, unless your a 13year old looking for porn. Or the news.
