Part of me likes all the insanity with the internet back then, with mixed feelings.<p>I probably got computer skills wasting time on YTMND for one reason or another.<p>I 100% attribute 4chan's b for inspiring me to program. Their raids inspired me to learn programming when I was a teenager.<p>But... I see that the alt-right came out of 4chan and the previously funny memes were no longer funny memes but serious accusations.<p>Maybe its basic phenomenology, but I wish I could see these websites as I once did, funny and edgy. Today I feel like there was something a bit darker that corrupted many users.
