Anyone remembers Z0R or P0WN ??? That was ART, killed by the discontinuation of Flash. I archived all of this and in 40 years I'm doing a Gallery in the Metaverse.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Used to love z0r. Oh man, nostalgia hits hard.
I miss the 2000s...
I miss the 90s. Browsing the web (we'll, few sites) at 33kbps with Voyager browser on Amiga... 😀
HOURS just typing [randomword].com and seeing what came up.

Most of my old playlists are missing a ton of videos that have been taken down over the years. Worst of all you can't even look up what those videos were called to search them somewhere else.
Controversial opinion: the Internet didn't die, you just got left behind.
Gotta keep up. The edge of culture is always moving and trying to stay put is a guarantee that you'll miss out.
The community of memes is more varied and nuanced than leekspin ever was. There's more lowbrow comedy sure but there's more of all types of content.
If you only see shit you hate online it's your fault. Go find places you enjoy (for me that's lemmy, as an example) and teach your algorithm to stop showing you rage bait by not falling for it.
Tiktok has plenty of problems but if you teach the algorithm that the only reason you're there is absurdism and the bizarre: you'll end up with an absurd and bizarre feed.
For real. Dude is claiming old memes used to be creative while using leek spin as the example.
Yeah but you can only get controlled absurdist bizarre stuff. It's not people recommending things to you, it's an algorithm that's controlled by people with dubious intentions.
Sure you'll see memes and funny stuff, but only the ones that have been approved by an unseen algorithm. So it's the appearance of randomness, but not actually random.

How did deep fried memes become a thing? We really will jump on any bandwagon, won't we?
