“MTV” -

“Streaming services. I remember the days when Netflix was king & there were only a few who also shared the industry. Now it seems like there's a new streaming service every week.” -
3.
“youtube, it was once a place for the people by the people. now it's a place for the corporations by the corporation. The worst part is that actual good content creators are too scared to make any decent content in fear of breaking their stupid rules. and lets not forget the double standard, "oh here is a 20 second unskippable advert about a naked woman talking about bras, but lets demonetise that guy who said a curse word once in 1 of his 500 videos to oblivion" Youtube died ever since Susan came. and just like a susan she broke and ruined something that was completely fine and profitable” - real_MainDepth -

“The quality of appliances” -
5.
“Jump the Shark. Loved that website. Just opinions on when a show began to stink, which I can talk about for hours (I didn't know about Reddit yet). Then TV Guide bought it in 2006 and destroyed it. Every show you clicked on would just cause a search on TV Guide's website about articles pertaining to the show and the phrase "jump the shark". No discussion, no anything.” -
6.
“My body lol” -
7.
“I could name quite a few locally-owned restaurants that were sold to someone who thought they could "improve" them. So many of them were improved to the point that nobody would eat there anymore.” -
8.
“Mobile games. most of them are ridden with adds and paywalls. if you want a good free mobile game, I suggest anything by rusty lake” -
9.
“Pizza Hut. 90s Pizza Hut was the best as a kid. Especially when we got PS1 demo discs.” -
10.
“Concerts. I used to be able to see a band for $20-$30 a ticket. Now they're all over $100.” -
11.
“Cadbury chocolate. Now it's sickly sweet and has a lower percentage of cocoa in it.” -
12.
“Grand Theft Auto. I hate the focus on online play. It was a single player game” -
13.
“Kentucky fried chicken. It’s still pretty good….but is trash compared to the old school stuff. I heard Colonel Sanders once went to one of the locations, tried the chicken and was appalled at how horrible it was compared to his method.” -
14.
“I’m going to be shallow here but I’m going to say, the old McDonalds and the old Burger King. When they cared about serving you a good, fresh, hot and a nice size portion of food at a fair price. I went to the Burger King drive thru a few weeks ago cause I really missed their Big Fish sandwich. Man it used to be huge, and you’d get a ton of fries. I paid just under $10 and the sandwich was about half the size it used to be and the “box” of fries? There was this little white cup with about 8-10 fries in it. Not joking. Pretty sad.” -
15.
“[Adult Swim]” -
16.
“Facebook. Back when it started and you needed a .EDU email address, it was a lot of fun. Then they let our parents in, we all left, and it has turned most of our parents into lunatics.” -
17.
“The way turn of the century apartment buildings were constructed, the things were built to last and the walls weren’t paper thin. Now the newer ones may look good and have more amenities however they are extremely cheaply built and you can hear your neighbors doing the dirty like they are literally in the same room. At least that’s the way they are here in Saint louis.” -
18.
“Has no one said Game of Thrones yet?” -
19.
“The gaming industry. For the sake of clarity, I'm not referring to games themselves. The gaming industry as a whole is a vile cesspool of predatory marketing, intentional deceit, employee physical and mental abuse, absurd working hours, ect, list goes on. It's hard to have faith in developers when they so frequently engage in filthy crumduggery.” -
20.
“Shopping Malls” -
21.
“Pringles. They be so bland now.” -
22.
“The internet. I kinda miss the geocities days where anyone could learn a bit of html and css and have their own website usually for free. Or next to nothing.” -
23.
“Faith in Blizzard Entertainment.” -
24.
“Multiplayer gaming was about having fun. Now it's "if I don't win using this week's most meta builds, I'll ruin the game for everyone." -
25.
“Disneyland. It is way overcrowded now, too expensive, you are forced to buy a day hopper for the price, and ride lines are all 2 hours + Also, they changed the Snow White Ride no more stormy weather and witch coming at you suddenly and Pirates of the Caribbean too. NO thanks.”
