23 genuinely useful things that have been “ruined by stupid people” (NSFW)

“The internet.”

“Reality TV. A really good concept, unfortunately ruined to get more views.”
-Latina_In_Wonderland

“Big Brother in the UK is a good example of this. In the beginning that had normal everyday people on the show and it was watched by millions and made front page news in the newspapers. Then they decided to add in more and more extroverted and extreme individuals whose sole reason for being there was to become famous and it just became an unwatchable freak show.”

“Online recipe blogs.

I understand the value of sharing experiences and the personal touch, but scrolling through pages of life stories and reflections on the changing seasons just to find the temperature for baking chicken thighs can be maddening. The recipe gets snowed under an avalanche of context and anecdotes. It’s especially tedious on mobile, where your battery life ebbs away as you swipe past the tales of childhood and pictures of someone’s dog wearing a chef’s hat.

What started as a wholesome platform to share kitchen wisdom has become a test of patience, where we’re forced to dig like culinary archaeologists to find the treasure trove: the actual list of ingredients and instructions. We’ve taken the concept of passing down recipes and wrapped it in the literary equivalent of a thick wool sweater — heartwarming, but not when you’re in a hurry.”

“The day when cameras were built into Cell phones.”
-vargo911

16.

“Antibiotics. Great for dealing with bacterial infections, not so good at dealing with viruses, and now we have antibiotic resistant bacteria because of overuse.”
-Caelreth1

17.

“Public parks/Toilets.”
-Liberty_Minded_Mick

18.

“The environment. We should’ve been doing something about climate change ages ago. We’ve known since 1938.”
-EpiphanyWar

19.

“Capitalism. You have a third or fourth generation of fucking morons inheriting the company daddy built, suppressing competition and automating or outsourcing all the jobs. Then increasing prices to get an 8th consecutive quarter of record profits. Then they go get their government “loan”.”
-AlwaysSaysRepost

20.

“Digital media in general.

“TV, Internet, Video Games – other than the latter one these media can be super useful.

“But practically speaking screens have just become executive dysfunction induction machines that people use as an escape to never truly start living. Screens have stolen so many years of my life it’s crazy.”
-Aggressive_Formal_50

21.

“Conversations.

People don’t understand that information isn’t just found on FB, Insta and other social media platforms

“They repeat ridiculous things they see posted by someone they don’t know and state it as fact because “I read it”.

“Common sense is gone. Critical thinking. Gone. People liking things doesn’t make it true. And this whole “ I feel like it’s true” BS has to stop already. Facts aren’t what you feel.”
-lookn4knks10

22.

“Bitcoin. Developed to create a decentralized currency for ordinary people that is not controlled by banks or governments (read the rich and powerful).

“Quickly became a convenient unregulated speculation object for the rich and powerful, as well as a great tool for money laundering.”
-Dazzling-Plate443

23.

‘Reproduction.’
