> things were always better in the olden days, people don't make 'em like they used to.

Just because successive generations make the same observations about <X> doesn't mean that <X> hasn't actually been steadily declining, you know.

So are you just repeating the parent's flawed argument? Maybe you should see what that comic looks like extrapolated out to 2026: "yo on god writing be dead, frfr no cap <100 emoji> <fire emoji>"

How far back do we take it? In pre-historic times, did people crawl accross the ground to better enjoy it?

There's little correlation between people complaining about something being better in the good old days, and it actualli being better. Not for no reason is "rose-tinted glasses" an expression.
