Just consider yourself doing research for a book you hope one day to publish and post about your MickeyDees/poverty experiences in the hopeful thread ;)

Well, the internet's like the Wild West, or anything else in history: Exciting and unstable and first, then it just gets watered down and policed. We're going to be part of a special generation, folks.

(1) 4chanarchive's goin' under.

Wrong. It's moving to chanarchive.org, which is basically the same thing with better features.

Anyways, Sign #9: YouTube is no longer about user-submitted content, as proven by Justin Bieber's "Baby" and its half-a-billion views.

Aptly said. What's the next frontier, I wonder?

Might as well be CorporateTube now...

There is absolutely nothing stopping you from uploading your own content to YouTube, and corporate videos have been seeing release on YouTube for years.

I suppose next you're going to complain about DMCA takedowns on copyright-infringing videos.

Weegee · « **Reply #7265 on:** April 16, 2011, 05:40:04 PM »

But content submitted by individuals isn't the focus of YouTube anymore. The days of "real" videos like Evolution of Dance taking the top spot are over.

coolkid · « **Reply #7266 on:** April 16, 2011, 07:09:33 PM »

I guess you mean stuff that isn't home video or Vlog, but that kind of stuff can't be considered corporate in my book, and it's totally popular on YT.

Oh, sign number 10: Google Video is dissapearing. And 11, a much earlier one, GeoCities (AKA '90s internet incarnated) is gone.

I have ANGST because I'm having some wicked writer's block.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #7268 on:** April 16, 2011, 09:45:01 PM »

Well, that's ironic--I didn't even know you wrote, and I've just been getting back into regular writing.

Interdimensional travel, I'd figure. Who wants to travel to the World of the Steampunk Lizard People and spraypaint "ALSO COCKS" on the side of a clock tower?

Well, I'm writing music as opposed to literature, but rest assured that the effect on productivity is the same.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #7270 on:** April 16, 2011, 10:23:22 PM »

Since you're a writer, I'm going to point out that you misused the word ironic.

Which is ironic.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #7271 on:** April 17, 2011, 06:39:38 AM »

I thought the internet collectively agreed that word is completely arbitrary now.

PaperLuigi · « **Reply #7272 on:** April 17, 2011, 07:16:22 AM »

Um, no? At least I hope not.

Come on, guys, don't rain on ShadowBrian's wedding day.

Yeah, stop giving him 10,000 spoons. All he needs is a knife!
