Did you expect more of an explosion of online activity from the crisis?

ILoveYourVibes

I did.

I expected an online renaissance.

Instead we are all paranoid and crazy. :P

I'm half expecting the internet to go down..

I did with more to talk to.My Mrs. after awhile stops listening to me, so the internet is all I have.

Not really tbh. Most people spend so much time online anyway on an average day.

But there IS an explosion in online activity?

I was thinking we could maybe have a thread where people could put up their peri-apocalyptic quarantine art.. only stuff that's been done during the lockdown..

Bullpoo. Go 100 years without the world having sex, and then see if it's an essential service or not!

And cream, don’t forget the clotted cream

No

There absolutely has been an online renaissance, what am I missing? Social media is busier than I've seen it since 2010 and people are rediscovering viral challenges, memes and even flash games to an extent.

Of course there has been an online explosion due to all the discussion around this. I don't know what point the OP is trying to make. Boards alone has huge numbers online so imagine the bigger sites.

Anyone remember Farmville and its emotionally manipulative notifications to rope you into to playing it? "[Friend] has sent you a lonely cow who needs a home, will you adopt her?" [cartoon of a calf with an exceptionally sad cartoon face]

Aaaaaaand Instagram and WhatsApp just went down

I’d have thought people would be minding their money considering we’re facing a recession

I'd say we're in a recession now

YouTube turned down the TV. I mean YT reduced the quality of the default stream from 720p to 480p.

This is it

Absolutely no point at all. There's a huge increase in online activity

Sorry for the delay in replying, you wouldn't believe how long it take one person to eat 21 scones, (pronounced s cones), I let the boss and kids have one each, but no, butter and Jam was the order of the day

Ah these things would be the equivalent of licking an angels hole and getting icecream out of it, but I'll try the cream mallarkey with the next batch

I started what I thought was a something quite social with my neighbor across the road, a flash game... two seconds into it she is closing the curtains and then a Garda car shows up... I mean, what was it she was expecting ?

I've been getting more harassment from ..odd guys or lonely guys that's for sure.

Way more scams that is for sure.
