    You know what else is overrun? Paywalls or other “requirements” where I need to signup and/or pay to access something that should be free.

    Don’t get me started on those fullscreen ad interstitials that force me to watch an ad I’m not interested in before I can continue either.

    Let’s face it, the Internet today fucking sucks and it’s partly to do with these so-called news outlets like the Atlantic.

    I miss the days when barely anyone heard of the web. Sure, it wasn’t as feature rich, but then again, those features are overly abused in the name of capitalism anyway. It’s like those strip malls that have nothing but shitty restaurants, nail salons, and tax preparers. Gone are the days of fun stores like hobby shops, comic book stores, local mom & pop toy stores.

    They just sucked the fun out of it all. 😡

      I have to look for datasheets quite ofen and every damn company requires you to log into their shitty login system to get them.

      It’s exhausting
