    I think you assume your personal experience was everyone’s experience. I didn’t have an internet connection good enough to watch YouTube until I started college in 2010. The neighborhood I grew up in still doesn’t have high speed internet except over 4g.

      I had barely functioning dial up Internet, while my friend had cable before YouTube existed. My first ever experience was on January 10, 1997. I was 16 and we borrowed a friend’s AOL login info to use that “browser” for limited number of minutes.

      Not even 3 years later was it possible to play games and have a lawsuit with Metallica due to p2p distribution. I’m basing my previous statements off of the popularity of these very things.

        ??? The fuck are you talking about? We’d go hang out together to play games and torrent shit. That’s literally what I’m saying we would go hang out in front of cathode ray tubes to do. None of those things are mutually exclusive?

          Whatever. I’m apparently not explaining well enough, and / or you aren’t understanding. And I’m too tried. So just ignore me from here on out.
