I find the claim that "zoomers" killed the internet somewhat bizarre. Which generation were the primary users of the internet while it was dying? What generation do the tech CEOs that were in charge of the stultification of the web hail from? You're claiming that the first generation raised on a dead web were somehow retroactively responsible for the aforementioned death. Beyond this, you're engaging in a very similar routine as the zoomers you hate, being that you've created shibboleths out of "self-hosting", and "decentralization". How do these things lead to a superior web? You've taken some aspects of a version of the internet that was superior, and then claimed that they were the aspects that lead to it's superiority without any backing to this claim. The "old internet" had way more illegal content than the modern internet does. Do we know that this wasn't the reason for it's superiority?

I get being pissed. I hate clicking through endless "sign in with google" or "create an account to see anything" that the internet has become.

How could zoomers do that? Looking at any half-decent neocities page, their "personal site on the interwebz" is all just filler with no actual content. They gained sentience after the internet had already lost both engines.

Zoomers are just the scapegoat, the last kid with their hands in the cookie jar of corporate convenience.</em>

PHPBB forums are faggot shit. If you aren't cooking up your own forum software you are not a real webmaster

Aw man, I can't believe I, a zoomer, ruined old internet nostalgia. Apologies for my entire age group's digital hallucinations and please continue to practice your ageism unto us.
Always here's my old internet frutiger aero styled gif that is actually an outdated and terrible standard that people should've moved on from.

Have ya ever stopped to consider that maybe this "resurgence" is only happening to distract from - your points - the fact that the early internet was cool because of decentralization.

This zoomer "resurgence" itself is a fucking manufatured trend, all there to dazzle this next generation into thinking independent internet was clitter gifs.

You're punching down and blaming the kids who were just duped by the real people you need to be pissed at.

Informing them of the problem is the first step to solving it. If all fruitnigger zoomers realized the flaws in their philosophy, they would fix it right up and encourage others to do the same.
