Streaming” in 2026 basically means scrolling for two hours and then going to sleep without watching anything.

Vine was elite because you only had 6 seconds to be funny. No filler, just vibes.

Not to mention the cost of those streaming services has like doubled since then and most have as many ads as cable.

Streaming and “upgraded” tech sounds good on surface, then you realize we had it better with less like the early 2010s and the 2000s.

This is a weird argument. This year sucks, but the best y’all can do is 2016?

Crazy to see memes quoting 2016 as the good times. I remember seeing memes saying how 2006 was elite in 2016 lol

I’m so damn old I reference the 90s as the good times. Music was on MTV, cartoons had plots, anime was being introduced to the States, the Internet was in its infancy, memes actually made relatable sense, you could talk about any random television show without worrying about spoiling it, and subcultures were actually gatekept from tourists.

2016 wasn’t better. You simply yearn for your childhood back. We all do.
