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.
Yt turned from video sharing service to a shitty streaming one. Theoretically for free except you are the product.
It’s actually pretty insane that we prefer to watch some celebrity streamer talking than a movie or tv series. I think there was some brainwashing along the way or maybe it’s just a cope for loneliness
The advantage of youtube is that it's user generation and low barrier to entry allows anyone to produce creations that are targeted to niches so specific, people would be unwilling to make something that targets them due to the lack of profit, if they are even aware of the existence of said niche. It also means that said creations can be made relatable to specific groups.
Things like parasocial relationships also apply, where we watch someones videos in order to get to know them to the point you may unintentionally believe you are friends with them, Something let's players, bloggers, streamers and podcast/radio hosts all are able to effectively exploit. It probably helps that most start off being relatable to there viewers due to there similar (and often worse) economic status.
While I'll agree the internet has been overrun by shortform shit, calling internet memes uncreative is such a boomer-ass take. This guy is just nostalgia baiting for points.

the darkweb is literally just the old internet, plus or minus some racism.
It's great fun.
I think that's the whole point. But before, it was all just a simple Google search away, no SEO in sight. Being capable of surfing the web properly already was at the time THE test to get in, much like private forums often have some kind of interviewing process. It felt a little more nerdy, and well organized, as you actually had to be both things to contribute. As it always was.
it's so much more visceral, in the sense that it's just fucking html 90% of the time. And it's incredible.
Light the way friend.
i am sorry i cannot do that for you.
It would fuck up the name.
Idk about the minus part
it depends on where you go.
And where you go on the clear net.
There's tons of racism on the clear net, and theres tons of racism on the darknet.
But there's also shit like cookbooks on the darknet.
Indeed there are cookbooks. Lots of cookbooks for absolutely anything anyone could ever cook, for any meaning of the word “cook”.
