America is dead, play it off Keyboard Cat.
I don’t know what’s going on here or why that looks like Ron Livingston, but I upvoted it anyways.
it’s a Reddit link…but that’s how far back it goes
https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/u1qnr/this_is_to_date_the_only_video_ron_livingston/
it was the ONLY video Ron Livingston uploaded to YouTube. & that’s Ron Livingston’s head icymi and just hanging out
- fails to elaborate
- never uploads again

It’s nice when artists realize they’ve peaked.
Back when the internet was just cat videos it was all upvotes always.
It’s definitely Ron Livingston. Why… is not our concern.
If you haven’t watched Office Space or Band of Brothers, then go do that.
I own and have watched both multiple times. But excellent advice for anyone reading this who hasn’t.
issue is it will collapse into neofeudalism, where the Czar Executive Officier of your network city will demand you work 16 hours every day, or he will send you to the wellness farms working 18 hours a day.
“Play me off, Johnny!”
I miss when tech entrepreneurs just wanted to get rich and retire young instead of becoming real life James Bond villains. Tom Anderson got a generation to learn HTML, got Rupert Murdoch to hand over $580mil for a social network that’d be dead within a few years, then had the decency to peace out and travel the world enjoying his photography hobby. No evil schemes. No fascism. Just pretty pictures.
That would have required self-reflection, self-love, and not falling head-first into the absurdities of an Ayn Rand-ripoff who called himself Mencius Moldbug.
He was one of my top 8 friends! True story.
How do get friends?
While Tom was tomming, Zuckerberg was zucking.
Before either of them Gates was gatesing. TechCrunch entrepreneurs have always sucked.
This is another reason why income and wealth inequality are bad for us. We have a natural level of psychopathy in the population. Some are bound to stumble into the kind of power given by obscene inequality.
Is it me, or is this ironically old meme designed to dismiss whatever the user says?
You know how millennials and Gen z can’t even image working one job that’s minimum wage to buy a house and support a family.
Soon the generations after us won’t be able to image a fun internet that’s not filled with ads and controlled by 5 companies.
You can still watch cat videos, they’re just sandwiched in between hell and sadness to keep you scrolling.
With hundreds of flashing ads along the side-bar.
cat, im a kitty cat, and dance dance dance and dance dance dance
I really miss that era of the internet… Myspace was fun and everybody’s, typically awful, profile had so much character. Felt like you really got to know the people you hung out with on there. I’ll never forgive my shitty friend for convincing me to switch to Facebook lol
MySpace was such a “special” thing. So stupid. But so fun, and dumb. (Or go even further back to geocities, or some yahoo shit.)
It was niche. Then people try to capture that, to mainstream it. Which in a weird way could be justified. But then you end up with Facebook. And then the same thing with Reddit a decade later.
Nice things. Can’t have.
I lost the music I made in college to the MySpace database loss/crash/whatever.
Upside: the music I made in college is forever lost.
Long before anyone had a PCs or servers beefy enough for internet video, we still had tiny gifs. And before that, we all just had our own websites all over the web which you could make entirely your own, for free or for cheap. And it was awesome.
<blink>
tags everywhere!I still have the html files for my first geocities site. It was a Commander Keen fansite with info that was already on every other fansite. But it was mine! And I used marquee tags and background midi files and gifs whenever I wanted to, and WordArt for the page headings.
Even then I was late to the party. My the time I joined, geocities was part of Yahoo. I remember when the URLs used to be cities and neighbourhoods.
Also, Onchat.com.

Filtering Youtube by 12+ years ago is a wild ride.
For those curious, just add “before:2010” (replace 2010 with whatever year you want) to your search query.
