People Break Down Which Things Were Attractive 10 Years Ago That Are Lame Today

People Break Down Which Things Were Attractive 10 Years Ago That Are Lame Today

It's always interesting what ages well and what doesn't.

And, for that matter, how quickly something ages.

How often do we find ourselves sitting down to watch a film or TV show from only ten years ago to see how poorly it holds up?

Or, for that matter, how ten years ago we thought something would be the next big craze or trend, and instead see it become obsolete with each passing year.


Redditor jerydajery was curious to hear what things people were attracted or fascinated by a decade ago, but have little to no interest in today, leading them to ask:

"What was attractive 10 years ago but now isn't anymore?"

Blogging

"Honestly, I miss the blogging culture."

'Articles written with honesty and passion, mostly to connect with real-life friends first and online audiences second."

"Only the biggest bloggers could make a living off blogging."

"They were the original influencers."

"Easy to avoid though because there were just a handful of them, unlike the influencer culture of today."

"The one thing I love about blogging culture were the honest reviews."

'No advertisers to please, just regular folks writing their opinions on something they’ve used long term."

"Back then Google even had a specific search engine exclusively for blogs."

The world becomes a different place with each passing year.

One can only imagine things we can't get enough of today which we won't be able to bear the sight of in ten years.

Though, it's safe to assume one thing we wouldn't mind seeing less of are medical masks and mobile testing sights...

In a recent TikTok trend, people are presenting young children with "fake eggs" and crushing the egg in their hands to show that the eggs are fake.

In order for this trend to work, the person has to poke a hole into each end of the egg to drain it of its yolk and let the shell dry, so it becomes more brittle and easy to crush, making the prank more believable.

Guy Sparks Modern Dating Debate With His Unhinged Texts To Woman Who Turned Him Down For Second Date

You know what they say: if a person has to point out how nice they are, they probably aren't really all that nice.

Actions tend to speak louder than words, with an affinity for niceness and kindness being among the best examples. When a person is truly nice and kind, it will come through in their daily attitude and actions without them having to say anything at all.
