How unrecognizable do you think Internet culture will be in another 10 years?
Mainstream internet culture will suck even more than now. On how many layers of post-meta irony we will be on is unknown to me.

I think that in 10 or so years, the internet will be completely different. Have you noticed how social media sites and apps become more and more similar? For example, the other day Whatsapp added 'Stories' as a feature, just like how Instagram and Facebook did before, after it all started with Snapchat. The Internet is becoming more and more homogeneous, and I predict that eventually most websites will dissapear, or it'll become uncommon to browse different websites. The Internet will be a single platform which will hold everything in one place.

i postulate that social networks will soon start to form along political lines. soon you will be one of "those people" on "that network" that thinks "those things". finding out that the girl you just met is on a network associated with a particular political ideology will become a point of contention between families. i'm talking straight up digital romeo and juliet shit

I miss pre-2009 /b/, if it didn't become such a cesspool, I wouldn't have come to /r9k/
>Tfw internet culture memes will never be subtle little inside jokes again thanks to the rise of social media and the internet becoming a part of every day life.

It'll be same shit as now due to medium format. You will just have a shitty 'intelligent agent' to filter out what you want. It's all the 90s shit coming to maturity now when done slightly better, that is, voice recognition, ai natural language, transactional data. Tech is slow as shit.

>Come across old list of Internet safety tips from 1998
>"Never share your real information online."

It's actually an excellent advice even now, but made irrelevant by normieswarm.

>"Never share your real information online."
We thought they wanted to keep us safe from others, but they were trying to keep us safe from ourselves
It's funny to see this thread, because last night I thought about how memes and internet culture developed and that I have no clue how it will be like in a few years
Guys just watch this

This is how far we have gotten with this random, nonsensical post modern ironic humor shit
If I had to guess then I would say soon we will drop back to dry standard humor because people will be fed up with this over saturated randomness for so many years.
