Animated time-lapse chart illustrating how radically the Internet landscape has changed over the past three decades. The video moves quickly from one month to the next and lasts for approximately two-and-a-half minutes. Fascinating stuff, in my opinion. Cool music too.

I am a dragon slayer! 🤣

[People blamed me for Yahoo Answers' collapse, but it was google that surpressed information, and dominated the 2010's, definitely not me.]

@checkoutanytime Haha. A dragon-slayer, you say? 😄

Of course, it's wrong to blame you or any one individual for Yahoo Answers' collapse. It allegedly happened because of reduced usage, but I have no idea if that's really why it shut down.

@Rutterman The Answers part of Yahoo shut down from too many trolls, I think. The rest of it lost popularity because the owners didn't know how to run it.

But no, I don't blame any one person, even @checkoutanytime.

@LordShadowfire You might be right about that. EP also suffered from trolls gone wild and the site was incredibly badly managed.
