For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

    When you share something cool, link back to the original creator or where you found it from.

      I’d argue this is the opposite of what was asked.

      In the early days, no one would post sources or attribute “stuff” to anyone. We’d all just share what we thought were cool pictures.

      Now, everyone gets mad when you dont post the name of the artist and their socials.

        What people are really mad about us the fact that artists are (and always have been) starving. We throw so much food away, let the artists cook for fucks sake.

        This might be more of a blogosphere-era thing I guess. Even when most people blogging did it for pleasure rather than work, it was always considered polite to “hat tip” (h/t) the source of a given link, if you happened to find it on someone else’s site.
