F*** the Internet

[240260280z]

Ad Block is the only way to sanely see the internet ad platform.

 

The content on this site (one of the few good sites lift that has not sold out) has disappeared with adblock on.

 

Most sites are now made for viewing with a phone so that the content looks like it is for visually appeared if you view it with any device with a screen bigger than 4 inches.

 

Also when you go to one site you actually go to ~ 10 sites with all of the ad/cookie bonanza grabbing your connection first.

 

 

The internet is dead.

 

So long folks.

You still need the internet to make sure you can contact me, Phil. I have that tire you want.

Back to the good old days when a phone call is all we need.  Glad I have your number!!!!!!

Download ghostery, it keeps ad content down and you can customize what gets blocked.

I wouldn't mind going back to the 70's ! I mean have things really gotten better with smartphones and the internet.. people are like zombies these days. Where's the social contact ?

[SteveJ]

For me, the internet is great. I consider social contact grossly overrated.

I enjoy the internet with Google Chrome.  Until my mortgage company insisted I upgrade to google to make online payments safer, I'd only used IE.  I'd rather watch the Oprah Network and all the commercials on television than go back to IE. 

 

I didn't get a smartphone until my bank started mobile deposits last year.  Another plus is now I don't have to touch those germ covered magazines in waiting rooms.  But this forum is the only socializing I do as far as the internet goes, don't really socialize at all.  You have to dumb yourself down to conversate with 95% of the people.

I'll miss Gone's "likes". They made me feel better about what I'd done.

gone = Blue?  

 

It seems like the ads load faster than usual now, and there are no autoplay noises or videos on this site, or the few other sites I visit.  So, overall, not too bad.  Sorry Mike but I almost never "click-through" to another site.  I'm a bad user.

 

I remember when cable TV was being promoted a "pay" service, with no commercials.  Look how that turned out.  Now we pay to watch commercials and suffer aggravation just to get connected.  Pus, all of the cable providers are going to digital now so that they can see what we're watching.  So, if you're concerned about being watched you'll need to get rid of your cable service also.  Or go back to over-the-air analog signals.  I think that there are still a few out there.  

 

Anybody remember UHF?
