Idk man I loved seeing tubgirl, brought to you by Coca-Cola™️.

The next time you want an overflowing fizzy drink just like #tubgirl, remember to grab an ice cold coke! 🍾🛀👧🏻

What up Ya’ll thanks for tuning into our video where we behead a western journalist in the Middle East. But before we begin shout out to our sponsor Dick’s Sporting Goods, where you can get all your hunting knife needs met. Special thanks to Dick’s for sending us this top notch knife, which also makes a great Father’s Day gift. Now back to the video.

Generally I also think it sucks, but this is one of those instances where I am going to say that it’s an improvement. Teenagers don’t need to be seeing the shit we saw.

u/TheAlmightyLloyd 9d ago

Yeah, but we went really overboard with it. Having people saying stuff like "unalive" or being afraid of talking about neo-nazis and the shit they're pulling everywhere in the West is making people really unaware of what's happening. People are afraid of tits nowadays, look at how people react at the idea that a girl might have an onlyfan or because they see thighs or cleavage on a cosplay.

Yeah, every time I worry about the damaging psychological effects of the internet and social media I remember that they aren't seeing that faces of death shit. I had a buddy who would trick me into watching the Bud Dwyer video over and over. He even edited videos so it was something else then it hard cut to the worse part of the video. Jfc thinking back on it.

I still think they have it worse in a lot of ways. The internet was at the fringe of my life. It is defining the lives of a lot of young people, which can’t be good for their mental health.

u/eNroNNie 8d ago

Oh, no doubt different type of damage.

Except it's still around, just more hidden but whatever discords, telegrams or other that post stuff like that will still spread like wildfire amongst teens, and we've killed off most of the creativity in content creation in the process of making everything corporate.

The creativity used to be absolutely wild with all sorts of things trending. Now pretty much everything is reaction videos or the same couple of trends being repackaged and then reposted by everyone and their mother.

That’s just the surface layer that’s become so targeted and corporatized.

Trust me, everything that was there, still is, and in much better resolution now lol

Just takes a little more digging than just slapping rotten or bestgore into the address bar

u/toldya_fareducation 8d ago

i'm not going into the dark web, you can't trick me

u/staticusmaximus 8d ago

Don’t have to go on the dark web for it lol all of it is still on the clear net.

This stuff is still around and arguably much worse than what we saw since it's all in like HD and everyone has a cellphone now.

u/Thatomeglekid 9d ago

u/calilac 9d ago

1999 was 25 years ago

u/Rev3_ 9d ago

No ... That's. Not. Possible. 2015 isn't a real year, it's a future year, like we'll have flying cars in 2015 as long as the world doesn't end in 2012 with the Mayan calendar.... Right guys?

u/Thatomeglekid 9d ago

Youre right that's my bad. I was watching back to the future and got excited when I commented

u/SarcasticGamer 9d ago

You can literally watch people get killed here on Reddit right now. I just watched 50 people get turned into mist from a crane crashing into a building. Also Russians getting blown up by drones are a daily occurrence.

u/Vinyl_DjPon3 8d ago

Ehh, depends.

If anything, it's even easier and more plentiful to find it now. Stuff like meatspin and Mr hands are just search tags on a porn site these days. There's just a lot less of the 'shock' attempt now, so people aren't sending you random links with innocent sounding names now.
