The only thing it has "ruined" is the design of some sites to accommodate for smaller screens. Everything else would be the same way even if we were still stuck with desktops+laptops. Let's not pretend everyone in the western world didn't spend a lot of time on the net before there were smart phones.

People want something different than you do; doesn't mean it's bad or ruined now, just that your preferences don't align. The world shifts and evolves, and tech is one of the most disruptive industries right now.

>>57067450
Change is not always for the better. The most common choice is not always the best choice.

And "good" is defined in relation to a goal. If our goal is an educated, enjoyable, prosperous society without hunger, violence, or any misfortune for the unwilling, then the current state of the internet is definitely bad. Never has so much misinformation, divisive chaos, hatred of every flavor, and outright violence been spread so far in such a short timespan.

We need to turn back the clock and make the internet a safe space for nerds and academics again. No poorfags, normies, niggers, or durkas allowed.

take 5 minutes and think about this for a sec: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HbYScltf1c

>>57069196

... you're right. Maybe leave calls in case of emergency? I still have a dumb phone for emergency calls and the casual phone call

I've called 911 4 times this year, I want to stop using any cell phones at all, but I have a little of bad luck

What's the problem with using 4chan from a phone anyway?

>>57069336
if you have to browse from he phone that means you're outside/ bored/etc

therefore less likely to contribute and more likely to shitpost

>>57069345
Thats not completely true, if i acess it from my pc it is because i wanna read the threads and maybe contribute or not, but it's the same outside when i'm using a phone

>>57069250

But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

>>5706444
No. It's true.

See: phoneposters

If you are outside, life should be stimulating enough that you don't need a miniature computer to distract you. Don't give me that "emergency" bullshit. Every god damn structure has a phone in it, and you can use that for an emergency. Most people don't even use them as phones anymore, why are they still calling them that? They are used to shitpost and take blurry hi-res underexposed snapchat photos of bullshit that nobody will ever look at, and to jerk off at work. We should start treating phones like the yellow star of david and start gassing all these useless zombies. Then murder the phone companies taking advantage of these morons, then kill all bankers, then murder every politician and then live happily ever after.

actually, social media culture is what ruined the internet.

Phones were just an accessory to the crime.

Mobile phones before social media were just fine, and self contained.

But with the revolution that smartphones brought to mobile internet, that meant easy access to social media on the go. And that is what killed the internet.

No, what actually ruined the Internet was not mobile tech. If you seriously want to imply that the iPhone/Galaxy somehow made the Internet worse, you might as well go back to your Thomas and his Friends Blu-ray collection.

What really ruined the Internet are assholes who want to censor what we can say.

>>57069232
original youtube was closer to liveleak than what youtube is right now. you could find videos of pretty much anything on there. after google bought it they just turned it into a shilling and advertising service.

>>57065432
the fact that is considered difficult or an unnecessary set of steps is why people are fat and stupid

look at the ingredients of a store bought cake and you see toxic and estrogen-laced ingredients like soybean oil, soy lecithin, canola oil, enriched bleached wheat flour etc.

You can literally make those ingredients into a cake mix in 10 minutes and bake for 1 hour and you will be assured you know what is in your cake, leading to healthier overall lifestyle. In fact, although I don't make cakes, I make breads and egg-bread variants like banana bread, using whole wheat flour I ground at home. No ingredient in the cake has more than a single ingredient itself. As a result I not only know the exact composition of my cake and can exclude any unhealthy ingredients, I can substitute more healthy options (honey for sugar, whole wheat for white wheat, sunflower seed oil for soybean oil, etc)

this is entirely analogous to gentoo which I also run. If you want to eat garbage and use a garbage OS be prepared to be both physically and mentally unhealthy as the corporate taskmasters may decide.

>>57071490
yeah, and why is there a much larger push for censorship nowadays? because every brain dead moron has access to internet all day in his pocket. many of them will even support censorship so that they don't have to see things which might offend them.

before you had to have a PC and make time to access the internet. if you were a careless idiot your PC would get filled with malware and become unusable. now you could give a smart phone to a niglet in africa and he could figure out how to access the internet.

smart phones are nothing but interactive toys designed for retards. everything is made to be as simple as possible and require little to no effort to set up on the user's part. so now you have people that without smart phones would rarely if ever even try to access the internet access it throughout the day.

Normies in general are terrible for anything.

I remember once at a family gathering the conversation ended up going towards connecting to the internet. Can't even remember how it did, but I ended up basically describing how a BBS would work, how you'd basically telephone someone through a computer.

My sister and her partner asked if this was still possible, to which I said it was, but that no one does it now because of always-connected broadband, and even dial-up internet superseded it.

They were terrified at the idea that people were just doing this by themselves. That they would be able to just connect without any company or government making sure it was OK.

Normies love phones because it turns the internet in to television, with the Facebook channel, and the YouTube channel, etc.

Um, no, they kinda are not. You're making a stupid comparison.

Just because these OSes you mention were simple to use, they still necessitated someone being in front of a computer and dealing with the expense, maintenance and burden that using the internet on a computer requires. Compare this to a mobile device that just works with little to no concern for all the pitfalls that computers bring is so far removed your attempt to make both analogous is pretty ridiculous.

The whole point of mobiles being easier to use compared to computers is explained wonderfully by >>57071557

>before you had to have a PC and make time to access the internet. if you were a careless idiot your PC would get filled with malware and become unusable. now you could give a smart phone to a niglet in africa and he could figure out how to access the internet.

Computers aren't "difficult"; mobiles are just make the internet so much more accessible. The the barrier to entry and the availability at any time of the day that makes even fucking children able to use the internet in seconds.

>>57064449
I'll agree to that. More and more I find myself comparing how searches are handled via mobile and via desktop. I used to think that when searching for things via my phone would return closely to what I would see from a desktop environment. Not really the case. Everything seems to be organized by local ads and not by my actual search criteria. I know there is a desktop mode which does help but then ads become so fucking intrusive I can't access the site I'm looking for information from. Not a huge fan of the separate search functions of mobile vs. Desktop but most folks don't seem to be bothered by it so I can't expect anything to change.

This thread recalls us how 4chan stupid mods are liberal about freedom of speech: http://archive.rebeccablacktech.com/g/thread/S55480713

I guess an insecure idiot will ban me and my entire university for that, you've got the insecurities you deserve dude, pic related. Though I recall a Reddit user summoning Reddit admins about mods shadowbanning people based on their opinions.

I primarily meant to say that Freenet made an uncensored darknet without spam or trolls by an adequate implementation of a Web of Trust.

>>57070353

Would banning phone posters make posts like this less common? I don't know if you people ever make real comments or this is all you ever "contribute" but I think it's worth banning all phones to see if it cuts down on the virtual litter.

Incorrect. Normalfag social media ruined the internet. Smartphones simply enable this.

its like the banning guns debate. while I believe that banning phones will make the world a better place, faggots are still going to find ways to kill the internet because they are uneducated faggots, nobody loves them, and they have no talent, skill, or usefulness in real life to contribute anything to the greater good of humanity...so they fuck it up for the rest of us.

same solution i believe should exist for both of these problems. societal reformation. No monetary systems, passive eugenics, forced higher education, and removal of banks, advertisers, politicians, and all other similar businesses such as insurance and restaurants. It will force humans to become smarter, govern themselves, actually able to create their own food, not be poisoned by ads and marketable goods, and not be poisoned by imaginary green paper. And Cars should go too. everything would be closer together and you wouldnt need them in the first place.

but thats a long way away (even though we have all the ability and time) humans are fucking lazy and stupid.

>>57064449
The internet was shit before people could use it on mobile phones. The only thing that's changed is the specific ways it's shit.
