2006 Called

Credits to xkcd for the inspiration for this comic.

Who can remember the time when YouTube used to be great? What about MySpace being the dominant social media platform? What about the early years of Facebook? Or even the first Twitter accounts?

Of course, with 2020 being such a terrible year, we would miss 2006 a lot. There was New Super Mario Bros, Final Fantasy XII, the Sony PlayStation 3, the Nintendo Wii, RuneScape and Maple Story were competing for the Free-to-play MMORPG market, the short film "Kiwi!" was uploaded on YouTube, and a fantastic World Cup hosted by Germany that was sadly marred by a headbutt incident in the grand final between France and Italy.

However, amid the big soccer football party going on in Germany, one denomination of Christianity had been warning us about a far right movement that is growing in power. The football tournament had distracted us from this very important omen of the end times. The Philadelphia Church of God's The Trumpet magazine has already told us that eventually, despite the efforts of the good people of Germany to rein in a sinister evil, the rise of the Revelation 13 Beast is inevitable. In fact, YouTube is largely censored in Germany, with over 61% of videos being blocked on copyright grounds. In 2019, Germany's netizens staged a protest against the European Union Copyright Directive being applied to the internet. The protesters failed to prevent it from getting approved. The Trumpet magazine also condemned the European Union Copyright Directive getting approved, calling it one step closer to the rise of the Revelation 13 Beast. All of this could lead to the end of democracy in Germany, which will ultimately lead to the biggest war in human history. One that could result in humanity's extinction if Jesus does not return...

Now, in the 2020s, looking back to the mid-2000s can sometimes bring painful memories of what internet content that was uploaded in that time period used to look like.
