Feeling like a Dinosaur

Anyone else from the old days feel like that?

Remember when you could filter google results to show "latest", when you could spin content, when ezine articles were the shizzle .... and if you could afford xrumer...

The days where googles crawlers were still busy trying to index the web gave us many opportunities to find holes, but now they no longer exist. It must be hard for the new guys now.

Any thoughts?

If someone was given two decades doing IM and while things were "easier" , yet wasn't able to make a significant amount of wealth, the chances are he won't do s**** even now & even if IM become easier as the old days.

Yeah - Culture has changed a lot ... Hence why these boards are more populated with basic a$$ questions. I think the very essence of blackhat was ... if you don't know, go read up and you'll know.

Nah, nowadays, you could sell your feet pics for thousands, your shit for thousands, your farts for thousands.
you could just shit talk on twitter and elon will give you thousands
if lucky, you could shit talk on tt/ig and make thousands
2 years ago, you could make a pic and sell x amount of it for millions

I wouldn't say it's harder, but I also wouldn't say it's easier either.

by 2030, global average IQ would be in the mid 30s

Gotta love that response!

I don't think it was any easier back then (albeit we had more tools and playing google which was behind, massively). It does feel like all the holes are patched.
And I do feel sorry for the young blood. Not because the holes are filled, but because the boards have changed and most old schoolers have achieved and moved on, and don't frequent these boards anymore.
Basic things like networking, remaining in a working circle even when it pains you, swallowing pride, learning from mistakes (taught him too much, shouldnt have told him that etc etc) ... it just seems these days the boards are full of unanswered questions.

Which is why I admired your post on the thread earlier. Taking the time to help people on the most trivial of topics says a lot about someones character, so kudos to you my friend.

The time that everything was free and we didn’t thought about making money online
