/v/ (where most of the shit in OP's image is from) was my favorite board in the late 2000s when I was a teen and I don't miss it at all. I remember newgrounds and a few small vidya forums I used in the mid 2000s and everyone there was retarded, but they didn't seem retarded at the time because I was ~13. Everyone in online games was retarded too. It was fun to be able to call people fags and niggers without getting b&, but I had to ban evade all the time because of hax anyway. Now you don't even need hax to troll in online games, you can just say that george floyd or charlie kirk deserved it for being a nigger/a fag and generate more butthurt than ever, and there are way better tools for ban evasion now.

Anime is doing great. Some of the best anime ever like wataten and yryr are from the 10s. Looking forward to Spy x Family S3 and Shuumatsu Touring next week. Having 12MB/s bandwidth instead of 150KB/s, cheap 1TB SSDs and 5+GHz 16 core CPUs and gazillion teraflop GPUs for generating unlimited high quality nudes of your waifu is nice too.
