Honestly. Many things were so much better before.

If you didn't like it on the internet, you could just not use it. Nowadays everyone with a pulse is forced to be on the internet, even if they shouldn't.

People used to understand that things existing digitally, meant that they would spread on the internet. Including and especially incriminating stuff. Trolling people who where clueless used to be fun too. The iOS7 update campaign where people were stupid enough to microwave their phones to charge them was incredibly funny.

There wasn't karmawhoring or attention seeking, in fact you would be chastised for acting like you wanted attention.
