   @pawlicker @Tadano @MasterSimper I'm technically a zoomer (born 1998), but I still remember forums. I still remember hearing about Reddit becoming popular and absolutely hating it.

     The only thing that could fix that would be total smartphone death IMO, which you can make easier by refusing to use a smartphone or maybe even a flip phone for your job.
     
     I know one guy on here would puzzle employers when he told them "nope I don't have a phone". Or just use a SIP line or something.

     Smartphones happened, along with everything from the financial crash, the Big Bang theory normiefying "nerd culture", the rise of FB, Twitter, and Tumblr, and the infamous "Hackers on Steroids" news report.

     I'd argue the reason archiving is seen as bad to social media addicts is also because to quote someone else, the internet (and culture as a result of forced change) has changed decades in the span of a few years. I mean look how pronouns went from being in Tumblr bios and laughed at to in your parents work e-mail. I mean 10 years ago this would be a skit satirizing hipsters by some YouTube channel, in fact I saw a CollegeHumor skit with the same exact premise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBRtucXGeNQ
     
     Furthermore if you criticize the orthodoxy you are prone to being marked to have your life/career ruined by Twitter users. To make matters worse, plenty of NPCs have no real core values other than "what will make me get ahead in life/online". So some people will do this to try to whitewash their internet past for a new crowd or to avoid being fired.
     
     Of course this also leads to hilarious situations. Let's look at one community I have knowledge with; the furry fandom. Zoomer furries will call you a zoophile in the same way Twitter addicts will call you a pedophile for liking anything anime if you like quadruped characters. Also not even 10 years ago, the biggest cartoon and online fandom was about literally just that (My Little Pony), and don't get me started on the Pokemon fandom and eeveeloutions.
     
     So someone I know would go on the profiles of people who would bitch about it and tried to whitewash their profiles of it, find favorites on art sites of MLP or Pokemon porn, and share them to their friends with burner accounts and watch drama unfold. This sounds crazy, but furries will crusade over why people should be canceled for everything and then end up having "cancel" worthy shit in their history, and then give into the temptation of saying something instead of learning to shut up.

     @xianc78 @xianc78 @pawlicker @Tadano @MasterSimper The old adage of "LURK MOAR" is forgotten, sadly. Even archiving a thread is somehow a bad thing.

     my phone literally is a glorified ogg/flac player so if I could get that reliated to its own device I would be perfectly fine with a flip phone

     @clora @Tadano @berkberkman @MasterSimper @pawlicker @theorytoe Enjoy it while it lasts, unless you can get a job that doesn't require installing some phone app.
