    I too want to go back to QuickTime player content streaming in at 28.8.

    Rose tinted glasses.

    And the web is still perfectly open. You just ate pissed people to choose to use shit you don’t like.

      I’m mostly annoyed that the web had become a terrible ai generated dystopia within a giant mall made mostly of Chinese dropshippers.

        So don’t use those services. It’s crazy to me that the existence of these things affects people so much.

        Go purchase a sub to the times or media of your choice, get off of social media, buy cable and a DVR, and find some forums. It’ll be exactly like the early 00s.

        I’m perfectly happy with the Internet. You are the one whining because people choose to use Instagram 🤷‍♂️.
