2013 Internet vs 2025 Internet
What differences do you notice?

a huge noticeable change in the number of brazilians

Dios mio!

>>212278980 (OP)
the spanish and the portugese destroyed the internet

Complete breakdown of national borders apparently

>>212278980 (OP)
My steam account is older than 2013

>>212278980 (OP)
more of Europe is now online which is good but also more of the W*st coast which is really bad.

>>212278980 (OP)
I was only 14 in 2013, but I spent a lot of time reading about politics and following elections. Internet definitely felt like a higher IQ place back then — YouTube in particular.

>>212278980 (OP)
FTTH is common as fuck in western countries.

>>212278980 (OP)
We need to go back

>>212279094
youtube was always ass, if anything youtube is higher IQ now if you know where to look

>>212279190
I will give all my wealth if I can go back being 17 years old.

>the internet was a better place when it was 90% americans and europeans
you don't say

>>212278980 (OP)
japan discovered steam

I wish I got to experience 2000-2010 internet again, you never know when you are in the good times. I think things started to go to utter shit somewhere around 2014 and just got worse and worse.

>>212279990
>>212281655
ITS NOT FUCKING FAIR BROS, I WANT BROWN PEOPLE GONE GONE GONE

>>212281655
This.
Internet was so much more free, fun and entairtaining than what we have todays.
It's only going to get worse with ai

Lula da Silva é um demônio maligno, veja só a cara maligna dele!

>>212278980 (OP)
I got internet in 2003

God, I miss phpbb forums so fucking much, ints unreal

>>212281883
I accidentally had downloaded some naughty stuff from limewire and our local equivalent called zmule. And mostly as a mistake because people hosting the files had compilations of vidya and music stuffed alongside their pedoshit folder so I never bothered looking through all the files and just downloaded all. Was scared shitless popo might lock me up.

>>212282133
I however was never in to those things I liked my white and latina women stuff, still do.

>>212281946
I remember demonoid first opening.
I remember people asking all kinds of dumb shit on the forums.
I remember limewire and people sharing music on IRC.
I remember metallica seething over napster.

>>212279190
I remember getting obsessed with the 2016 election as a 15 yr old, staying up late playing total war, monitoring threads and watching cnn, Good times.

I also remember my download speed on utorrent being around 200kB/s and I'd sit there staring at it and doing a soyface the few times it got over 200kB/s

>>212282491
>downloading GTA SA at 24.4kb/s for 3 days
>rolling dice whether it's a normal version, doesn't work, full of stupid mods like BMW taxis that aren't properly installed and just let out sparks while driving or worse case scenario full of viruses and Trojans.

>>212278980 (OP)
I don't understand the map. In 2013 we all had the internet, except the people over 70 years old. It looks like rather a map from 2007 than 2013.

>>212281655
From 1995-2010 it was actually functional
You search for something
Instantly find it
It was actually true

It is no longer like that

Guess why

>>212281655
>I think things started to go to utter shit somewhere around 2014
This. 2014 is when I first noticed things going to shit as well.

Just imagine it ny thirdie blooded anons

You could go online
Quickly find information
Talk to people who knew who they were
No ads
Or scamming


THEN YOUR KIND SHOWED UP

>>212278980 (OP)
I can tell why the quality and IQ of the people on the internet is so shit now.

>>212282951
You think jewgle would be able to cope and forsee this happening but no. Their translator is shit, image search? Please ducking Russians have the light years ahead in that, their search results and the AI nonsense they do now? A joke. If not for android and being a brand name they would have been swallowed up by something like Microsoft long time ago.

>>212283137
Oh and YouTube, that's their biggest cow.

>>212282951
>>212283015
sweaty you're trying too hard

>>212283216
They're right though

>>212283015
Remember when the internet was just a bunch of nerdy white guys with niche interests and would make interesting threads and stuff?
now it's just retards posting the same dogshit non-stop

>>212283253
you on the other hand is barely trying at all

>>212283295
It's 9 PM, I'm off work

>2001

>2007

Good times

>>212283216
I'm being honest. Swear to God

You live in a post apocalyptic internet

>>212282907
because OP is retarded and it says in the image that it's a map over steam activity

>>212283579
"You live in a post apocalyptic internet"

>>212278980 (OP)
So speech on the internet became less free the browner it got?

>>212283809
That's an excellent point and yes, the browner our countries become, the less rights we have since most of them aren't capable of living in a society.
and a lot of them actually vote for it, browns love daddy government.

>>212278980 (OP)
The 2025 map is almost the same as a population density map.

>>212278980 (OP)
We need to retvrn

>>212278980 (OP)
How are there still areas in the us that don't have internet

>>212278980 (OP)
crazy that we were the only place playing online PC games in large numbers other than the US and Europe. This matches really well with the people you would find playing MMOs like tibia too, though obviously that was earlier than steam.

>>212282423
napster was a bit before my time, but i remember the metallica shitshow
never used demonoid or limeware since we've always had our local trackers that were way better(rip RARBG)
>irc
now thats fucking nostalgia

56k was hell
There weren't any sites that isn't indexed by AoL/Yahoo/Geocities
Pokemontroons had Serebii since 1999
Before Animesuki and Gaia there was Anipike which had all of the fansites plus hentai
This shithole was mostly stuck at 1mbps-5mbps throughout the 2000s
Torrenting wasn't a thing until much later, everyone was on Limewire downloading r@ygold and other similar stuff
Yahoo, SomethingAwful and Newgrounds unironically fixed the internet
Old /v/ was into D2LOD and WC3: TFT and later DOTA while old /a/ was filled with NGE spam and Love Hina way before Lucky Star, Code Geass and TTGL newfags showed up

>>212284974
Our internet was slow because most of it including the 56k was routed over a thing called soviet line radio wires. See these wires atop the commieblocks with the post? Some here and elsewhere believe they were used for power transmission, they weren't, they were used for radio points basically a dedicated plug for a radio with 3 channels. After the fall of the soviet union they were repurposed for telecommunications and internet, they are still up to this day due to regulations and some legacy systems still using them for data transmission. About mid 2000's there has been a massive push for fiber optics in every commieblock so the internet speeds doubled or trippled every few years or months. I personally don't even use wired anymore because my phone 5G wifi hotspot pulls 30mb/s no problem, mad from the days of fucking 16kb/s downloads.

>>212278980 (OP)
>pajeets have woken up

man, i like how widespread piracy was here, my local ISP provider literally had their own FTP server where they uploaded all the newest movie rips for the clients
Kinda ahead of their time when you think about it, its like all the phone operators nowadays trying to make you sign them offering you "free" netflix, hbo, spotify etc if you join them

>>212281655
Yeah i sure miss the day when everyone still posting child porn casually

>>212288953
>only thing he remembers of an entire decade is CP
What are you, some sort of fucking pedo?

>>212278980 (OP)
Surprised by the amount of Brazilians in 2013 tbqh

>>212278980 (OP)
someone in north korea is on steam?

>>212289601
look at his flag bro

>>212278980 (OP)
this is just steam not the entire internet

>>212278980 (OP)
it looks like my rateyourmusic map

iberians are thirdies

>>212278980 (OP)
a lot more rednecks, a lot more indians. these are the worst offenders

>>212278980 (OP)
Steam became more common?
Brazil is a shame tho. We were pirate kings

>>212288939
I still pirate to this current day. Back then we had bootleg russian floppies and CD's, some of us bought legitimate licensed russian CD's from 1C publisher and their translation team snowball.ru, trying to crack their DRM, no wonder eastern yuropoo has so much good programmers. pic related a booklet from my collection.

>>212283526
>You live in a post apocalyptic internet
You really are upplaying pre-2010 internet too hard.

>>212289694
It's said you can play games with Kim Jong-Un
He used to post here years ago

>>212290119
>no wonder eastern yuropoo has so much good programmers
A lot of it was because they also dabbled into hardware or had to come up with hardware fixes for certain things.

>>212290168
I still have my Compaq Deskpro from 1995 in good working condition. However I didn't go in to the field of programming I went the medfag way and became a radiologist.

why the fuck is there a dot in pyongyang

>>212290119
kino times

yeah, i still do it too
but to be honest, very fucking rarely nowadays, i havent pirated vidya in a decade maybe, cos for one i dont play much modern games nowadays and second, Steam is alright for everything else
music neither, since Spotify is just 5 euros and easier to use than bothering with pirating it
but i still do it for movies now and then, mostly, cos i fucking hate going to the cinema and prefer watching movies chilling at home

>>212290335
I only do steam if online only, I have a nice account from 2005. All my music is from Nictonine+ a client of soulseek, all my movies are from 1337x QxR + Tigole and most of the vidya is mostly gog installers or dodi and fitgirl repacks. Honestly modern vidya is shit aside from some outliers so I just load up old stuff like System Shock 2 or OG oblivion from time to time. Only worthwhile vidya is what japan releases the rest is meh or goyslop.

>>212278980 (OP)
I don't think that the worldwide internet usage back in 2013 was that significantly smaller

>>212290469
I have went over the 90's, 2000's classics and calling people various slurs on MW2 so I am not impressed by current state of gaming.

>>212290546
The number of internet users worldwide has doubled since 2013, primarily from third world countries

>>212281655
Early 2010s was the time it became inundated with normies and boomers

>>212290335
I want to personally shake your bulgarian hands for Tsar Burden of the Crown, kino music, great RTS as well as Tropico. Very respected in Lithuania.

>>212288953
Nothing changed Pedonesian, cheese pizza is spammed all the time on mainstream social media. Even worse now that gooning communities encourage gooners to jerk off to increasingly fucked up material to "ruin their mind". Sick fucks like Goonclown couldn't exist in the pre-COVID Internet.

>>212292114
You Americans were already perverts

This is wrong. By 2013 all Brazilians were on the internet. Hell in 2003 Brazilian forums and Orkut was already huge. This must be just about a particular site
Also look at 2013 Japan and South Korea KEK you guys are retarded for believing in OP

>>212278980 (OP)
i've had internet at home since 2003 and still do the same things more or less. not much has changed for me

>>212292220
that is specifically about steam users, it's meaningless for anything else but to bait on /int/
https://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/

I had dial up internet in 98 in brazil

If you didn't have AOL dial up that charged by the minute, don't even talk to me

>>212278980 (OP)
brown and black people ruin everything

>>212292592
Africa has its own internet, they don't really have a presence on the mainstream web. But browns of all species have flooded everything that was once good and ruined it

>>212281655
>>212282984
Smartphones allowed made Internet more accessible for all the unwanted turbo normies before they mostly used it fir work only

>>212278980 (OP)
What a complete disaster.

>>212278980 (OP)
We had internet fairly early for the region, around early 90s. My family is well-off, and my dad got us dial up internet in 1995 via JARING. Even then Internet cafes sprung up like mushroom and by 1996 most uni students have an email account.

>>212292592
you ARE brown, and so the mediterraneans

Insane how in the 00s the worst you had to deal with was BRs in MMOs and they were just kids begging for free shit

>>212279046

>>212281739
stop gatekeeping something that is meant to be accessible by anyone

>>212293872
It wasn't tho
When they were making the internet nobody was even remotely thinking about Indonesian people

>>212293900
>When they were making the internet nobody was even remotely thinking about Indonesian people
the founders of the internet specifically designed it so it is accessible by anyone. that's why many of the stuff in internet aren't copyrighted. nice ad hom btw

Still white dominated and racist

We’re talking about the internet not your ass mericon

Took this screen shot of /int/ catalog in 2015. It wasn't significantly different.

>>212295879
Another one

damn its weird because I feel like everyone had internet back in 2004-2006 we even had a computer in the library of the school

>>212279990
Really makes you think

>>212278980 (OP)
FUN FACT
India has twice as many people as europe and the US combined! It LITERALLY hasn't even begun!

>>212279043
ours is still quite well defined

>>212278980 (OP)
my internet was from 1998

>>212278980 (OP)
Me on the top image playing lol back when it wasnt pozzed and faggot was actually an insult

2013 is fairly recent to me since I'm disgustingly old. It was probably like modern internet with slightly more more old internet charm intact though.
