Ask HN: Is getting online still fun?
This is an extremely soft question. I completely get it if you downvote and flag it. That is sort of my point though. Now a days you have to say and do everything online according to a protocol or else. Ask in the wrong place - deleted. Say a naughty word - banned. Have an unpopular idea - downvoted. It's not fun. The whole game, anymore, is to try and get internet points by making intellectual points in discussion forums. How lame. Chat rooms for some reason died. Somehow web browser games are all still extremely low quality and surrounded by ads. I just don't know what's fun to do on the internet anymore. Reading news aggregators is kind of boring to be honest. It's like the internet is all work and no play. I've seen other people say things like "the internet sucks in 2018" and that can't just be because of targeted ads, 100,000,000 shades of beige websites, click bait, etc. Do you still have fun on the internet? If so, what do you do? 3 comments on Hacker News.
