“It used to be the best dating site.
Now they all suck unless youre gorgeous.”
Remember back when we were young?
Abettertime, in my opinion.

“The internet in general.
u/MissFunkyH
“It really is awful now.
And then, theres the ads…ads everywhere.
Paywalls left and right.
Endless scrolling on tons of sites instead of concise information and well-considered site navigation and layout.

3.“Thrifting.
All the rich kids ruined it.”
u/MWBPLH
“Not only that, but the prices they put on some secondhand items these days is RIDICULOUS.
You may as well buy them brand new in some cases.”
u/Questions_It_All
4.“OkCupid.
Used to be an innovative dating site with a multitude of features that distinguished it from its competitors.
Everything went downhill when the Match group bought it.”
u/Vondarrien
“I met my husband on OKC years ago with a 96% match rating.
Recently, when a friend was talking about online dating, I told him to try OKC.
There are so many swipe dating apps that put your face front and center.

It’s dead now, but it used to be fun and worked kind of like Reddit.

“The high schoolers ruined it, too.”

“Doc Martens.”
The pair I bought a few years ago look just as old now.”

8.“YouTube.
Try watching it for an hour without adblocker on.
They literally penalize you for using their platform.”
“I was watching YouTube with my wife, and her mom called.
I paused it while they talked.
Took about 10 minutes.
When I hit play again, boom, commercial.
We rewound two clicks because we forgot what happened, got back to the original pause point, commercial.
At minute 30, commercial.
30 seconds after that, commercial.Literallyunwatchable without adblock.
Try it for an hour.
Guaranteed you won’t make it that long.”

“Being able to go outside.
You could stay out ‘til the sun went down, just riding your bike.
Now, those fields and forests are paved over and turned into a strip mall.”
“Those big areas with play grounds?
Can’t go out on the streets anymore.
Kids get the cops called on them constantly.
And if you wanna go somewhere that isn’t outside, you better cough up some money.
Every place charges you to be there now.”

12.“Cars.
They used to be awesome.
Now, they’re the mostly pieces of crap and highly overcharged.
They’re faster than they used to be maybe, but the cost isn’t worth the parts.
And they fail so easily.”
u/Hugebluestrapon
13.“Hollywood.
They ran out of ideas.”
u/Madpoka
14.“Geocaching.
Now, its ‘take it or leave it’ overpriced homes you cant afford in a terrible neighborhood.
Or continue paying your super high rent.”
