man, it's fucked how much better off we'd be as a culture if like 80% of the last 20 years of tech startups had just never fucking existed. literally every day i find myself thinking "i sure wish we were doing this the way my parents did it instead of through Fartr, The App That Sucks Shit"

in reply to @spookybiscuits's post:
Right around the time we had RSS in full swing, it really felt like we actually figured out how to Run An Internet. Then we just sorta kept going until we started to forget about the good ideas that were already working.
Me and my spouse both agree that the exact moment that the Internet died was when Google killed Reader.
I used reader SO much, too. I think Google Reader was the first time I really got burned by Google killing off projects just because. One of these days they'll deprecate Google Authenticator and a bunch of people are just gonna get locked out of all their accounts, istg.
