How does the internet annoy you?

[similar.squirrel]

The general consensus seems to be the whole anonymity>boorish behaviour situation, and I'd be inclined to agree.

Also, it gives an outlet to all sorts of losers and perverts. Which is depressing to witness.

 

[Mannayz]

General stupidity. And drama. And camwhores. And propagandists. And people who think the internet is a truck. And Nyan Cat.

 

[Farseer Lolotea]

This has been covered already. But just the online disinhibition effect in general, really.

 

[FalloutJack]

It's gotta be the people. They are the cause of the problems online, so all the annoyance is attributed to them.

 

[JamesBr]

The fact that we have a world spanning, ethereal construct which allows for near instant communication and the transmission and storage of vast amounts of data, and yet it consists mostly of advertisements I don't want and didn't ask for. And if it's not intrusive adverts, it's the disproportionate number of links directing traffic to a relatively narrow number of sites. I'm told the internet is huge, but it feels like I always end up at the same couple dozen sites.

It's like you're invited to an orgy, but when you get there, all there is three other guys having a circle jerk. Kinky, but not exactly varied.

 

[Kungfu_Teddybear]

Anonymity, because it's basically a free pass for people to be assholes.

 

[Axelhander]

Fanboys/fangirls. Not "fans," but "zealots," too in love with their favorite things to acknowledge their flaws.

I love Final Fantasy 6. If you asked me to name its flaws, I'd name them. Because I'm not a fanboy.

And I'm in the minority on the internet.

I would say everything, but that would be too much, so the most I hate the mainstream crap which is fed to the youth (14-16) and then these people tell you the horrible jokes in RL until you could tell them after being drunk and high. But also I would say: Every dumbass has a internet connection so any fuckwit could read up quotes and then furthermore annoy you in RL. Also wikipedia, anyone reads up informations about anything and then acts like a professional about anything but ultimately knows nothing about anything. Don't get me wrong I kinda like the quick avaibility of information but I would really like to see people read for example the book they talk about

 

[flametoad9]

people makeing threads like this and getting in the way of threads that point out FOX news every wrong doing

 

[SnowyGamester]

The use of Internet Explorer for one.

OT: The hate on internet explorer. It's only failed me once, and when I tried FireFox directly after I removed the virus, it failed in the exact same way on the exact same site. Havn't had a problem with IE since, and I use it exclusively. So there!

That, and everything everyone else said.

 

[Purple Shrimp]

whiny internet atheists are the only people I've ever seen on the internet who genuinely make me angry

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

People who have English skills of a second grader
Complaining
"I have lost faith in humanity"
Blatant trolling
False links
Moderators who refuse to get off their high horse
Thread topics that have been done to death

 

[PimpHandofGod]

-People who use excessive :/ amounts >:3 of smilies <.<

-People who feel the need to type jk lol after every joke they make.

-Youtube commentors.

-The fact that there is no required psychological profile and IQ test before being able to use the internet.

-People using an english message board while not knowing how to speak english.

-Grammar nazis.

-People who insist on using the proper names for everything when there are easier, time saving, or more widely understood alternatives.

-Power hungry admins and mods.

-Gateway pages. (click here to enter website)

-People who feel the need to add disclaimers to all of they're posts so as to "not hurt any feelings"

 

[Small Dragon]

Trolls. Who doesn't hate those pig headed fuck wits.

 

[Drakmeire]

I get mad whenever I google image an anime character that I may like to cosplay as, I have to sift through about 14 yaoi drawings before I find a good image to base my costume off.
also annoying, ignorant, 13 year olds who argue with everyone.
and unironic trolls.
and finally, people who blindly hate all religion for no reason.

 

[EeveeElectro]

My opinion is RIGHT and if you disagree with me, you're a fucking idiot who is a troll. Also, my opinion is the be all end all of opinions. If I say that band is shit, they are SHIT and obviously don't play their own music because I said so.

Also, I don't kow who I hate more out of haters or fanboys. We could do without both though.

 

[BGH122]

The fact that so many people don't know the difference between than and then.

Ah, yes. Given that I'm not a teacher, before the internet I didn't have to suffer through the atrocious spelling and grammar found OTI. In that vein:

Spoiler: The Oatmeal

Thank you, so very very much- I saw that once and could never find it again, no more annoying grammatical errors for me, it's all in one place!

Most welcome. His book is full of hilarious little comics like these. There's a particularly good one that explains the process of turning milk into cheese (random, I know) that's ended many a drunken debate about cheese.

[HEADING=3]People who post in the comment sections of news articles are pretty low on the list of people I would save from a burning theater.[/HEADING]

I hate them so much.
