Things The Internet Ruined

Garage sales...Thanks to eBay everyone thinks their worn out, never used worthless shit is worth a fortune. And should someone actually have something decent, they can get a price on the Internet so you can't get a deal.

And estate sales and thrift stores and flea markets,etc,etc. Every old bitch with an i-phone is an expert now. As a life long treasure hunter,I mourn for the glory days of the 70s-80s when a Lalique vase for $1 was the norm rather than the exception .

I used to collect vintage fountain pens and repair them as a hobby.

I gave up because the days of buying an old pen for less than $20 disappeared as every tool who finds and old pen in the back of a drawer thinks it's the Holy Grail and prices it as such.

A population without the capability to film and record everything. A time where political division didn’t poison every discussion.

Buying vintage watches cheap. Now anyone who gets their hands on Granddads old watch does an ebay search and thinks it's a $30,000 Rolex.

Music

Back in the day Record Labels would actually invest money to develop talented people and turn them into stars. Once the Internet hit and all that music became free and new music from artist was stolen. Record labels stopped investing in one single artist and just started putting out quick trash music. Or they turned artist like a Taylor Swift or Katy Perry into tent pole franchises like X-men. Now it’s mostly just shit music no one remembers two years after its released.

I think this is the first generation of Americans that doesn’t have its own sound, it’s own music.

Everyone knows too much about everything.

The whole point of being gay used to be having secret "expertise." Gone, gone, gone. Gays have become straights and straights have become gay and, frankly, I'm sick about ti.

Quiz radio shows. Having encyclopedic knowledge about trivial topics is pointless now that everyone can Google everything.

Expectation.

Now we demand instant and constant communication.

One can no longer communicate at leisure.
