After scouring the Internet for more hours than any human should, I’ve realized that I don’t like much of it. There is however, some really cool sites and communities to join and some very interesting concepts and information being shared. But I’ve put together a slice of what I absolutely hate about the Internet.

1. Top Ten Lists

Ironic, yes. But c’mon, this has gotten out of hand. There is more to publishing then just randomly putting together a crappy list of Photoshop Tutorials, or Open Source software recommendations. If lists have been done, and done well, they should not be attempted again. Let’s leave it at that.

2. Better Blogging Tips

There are way too many of these sites up now, all with their own ideas on how to increase you SEO and which ads to use and what topics to talk about. Now while I realize that blogs want to make money to maintain and grow, the most successful blogs out there should not be about making blogs successful, it should be the blogs with the best content.

3. LOLcats And Pictures With Captions.

God, do I even need to explain this one? If I see another picture of a cat with a horrible miss-spelled sentence under it, or a picture with the word FAIL on it, or a de-motivational poster rip-off then I will seriously give up on the human race and plan to seek out intelligent life.

4. Art Via Flash Applications

I’m no artist, but I can recognize something that’s pleasing to the eye. But for some reason there are these applications that pop out of nowhere that can randomly make art by clicking and moving your mouse on the canvas. This is a total waste of time and no one will ever use it more than once. I’ve never heard anyone say “Dude you have to try out this new kaleidoscope painting program!” And I hope that I never will.

5. Cartoons

There are too many people who think they are artist and aren’t. There are even more people that think they’re funny and aren’t. What do you get when you put these two types of people together? Crappy Internet cartoons. Yay! More stuff for me to read and at the end ask myself why I even Stumble anymore.

6. First Posters and Photoshop Caller-Outers

I hate it when someone actually takes the time to post to the fact that they are the first poster and don’t actually leave a comment. So no, you weren’t the first poster. The guy after you that actually posted a comment was. And you should really put together some sort of semblance of a life together at some point. This goes out to those Photoshop caller-outers. Oh yeah, do you think the picture of the two cats break-dancing is a Photoshop? Get the hell out of here, REALLY? You mean to tell me that cat’s cannot perform the robot, or pop-n-lock? Yeah…

Well, that’s it for the list. I’m sure I’ll add more as they pop up. It’s something that is definitely not in short supply.
