i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

    The creativity people were willing to share. Forums, DIY guides, blogs, neat yet crappy animations on Youtube. It’s all kind of still there, but it’s hard to find with how the internet is today.

    It was full of passionate people who made things because they enjoyed it. Now, it’s either how-to sites written by bots/keyboard monkeys, or you’re fast-tracked to the #1 video. You have to really go looking for the human now.
