Couldn't tell you the exacts. So much has happened. I started showing up around 2012. Smart phones have completely changed everything for how digital interfaces with reality and I don't think any of us fully understand it all. The monetization of the internet for specifically ad revenue. The rise of hustle culture and monetizing your hobbies. The elections happened. The internet is also massively more international and some apps really let people interact in a language they don't really understand. Plus troll farms. It's just too much happening all at once to have a simple to explain answer. And I've barely gone into what's happened on 4chan, let alone /tg/. I can't claim to understand all of it or most of it. I might even barely understand some of it
