I'm really confused what this could be referring to.

Because the folks who've been around the longest and remember the early days of the Internet are currently in utter dismay over how their fun international sandbox has become a Black Mirror-esque horror show, while everyone else seems to just shrug and obediently upload their face scans so they can watch AI videos of uncanny-valley cats playing cruel pranks on facsimiles of political figures in-between unskippable ads for applying to be an ICE agent under promises that it'll be like COD but in your own backyard with living, breathing brown people.

I've been on since BBS's , I was just starting to understand it a little then it expanded to browsers, then there was the FTP's to share pirated software, ICQ to meet people from all over the world it was good.

Then it went to shit, the only good thing is that torrents have been keeping my media free.

I was assuming OP means all those gross out pics/vids, or the death/violent stuff. Those pain olympics were something else, and I couldn't finish 2 girls 1 cup.
