>>4440529It’s a bit of a double-edged sword, anon. I’m 29 now, but I’ve been on 4chan since I was like 11 or 12 back in 2008–09. The internet culture I grew up with is basically gone, and most of the people from back then either drifted off to tiny imageboards that get maybe four posts on a good day, or just disappeared entirely. A lot of us were using the internet to cope because we didn’t really fit in IRL. Sure, you always had the black nerdy guys trolling on /sp/ having a blast, but they were definitely the minority.
The funny thing is, even I felt like I missed out. I thought I was late to the party and had missed the legendary 2003–2007 era. Looking back, though, I think I still caught 4chan at its best, even if I wasn’t around for some of the classic 2006 chaos. I watched /r9k/ morph into a monster, vanish, and then get resurrected for the detriment of humanity.
Honestly, the best thing you can do these days is find a woman before AI turns the whole internet into a ghost town. If it weren’t for the internet, I’d probably be alone without kids, my wife’s from a remote country in Asia, and I never would’ve met her otherwise without the internet. The best time to do something is always yesterday but the 2nd best time is now.
