Worst experience you've had on the internet?

[Mishimi]

What would it be?


Mine would probably have to be reading comments on YouTube. I pretty much avoid doing so with 99% of the videos I watch on there. The majority being immature people talking a lot of trash, often times with prejudice/racial/derogatory terms being thrown out like they are 12 year olds (Some of them are actually) on an unintelligent internet hate spree. I know it happens on lots of sites besides YouTube, but YT has become like the mecca of horrid comments over the last several years.

Ironically this would probably be mine to, to a degree

Also, two instances of being ignored for an extended period of time by long-distance ex's while I was still with them, following break ups.

I've had some pretty bad experiences/arguments on forums before too, but compared to the evil crap I see on YouTube comments before, not even close to being the worst for me.

The worst experience on the internet for me was problem when a Garrys mod clan decided to DDoS our server for 2 months, with the stupid server hosts doing absolutely nothing about it and not giving us access to do anything about it ourselves. $80 down the drain cause of some dickhead.

Had a pedo on my tail (on the internet only) when I was 12-13..
Ended up completely "starting over" my internet-life to get rid of him, which wasn't really a too big thing at the time since everything was pretty new to me and I hadn't been on the net for more than a few months at most..
If something happened today that'd force me to do something similar to that, it'd be a complete disaster and even top that thing as "the worst experience on the internet"

I'm gonna say just about every time I log into FA. Mostly because there's a lot of sexist/ableist/trasphobic crap that happens on that site.
...Also there was a time where I was trolled off of an account when I was younger because people thought I was copying Squeedgemonster because I had a halloween dragon character even though the designs looked nothing alike.

FurAffinity in general is not a site I consider "reputable" by any means.

But as for mine? The Garry's Mod community or the GTA4 communities at large. You really have to comb through the shit, or just get extremely lucky, to find at least decent people on there, it feels like.

Oh god, don't get me started on those communities xD You think youtube is bad? You haven't met bad until you go through these communities xD

I've already mentioned the garrysmod community badness, but I have to add the sheer amount of hackers in GTAIV who literally just go around crashing servers for no reason other than to piss people off.

My worse internet experience? It was absolute hell.

I actually known the person IRL back then. They were a horrible person, they were snooty and thought they were better than everyone else.
This person happened to find one of my online identities. And then they somehow managed to hack it...
They put stuff on my account like "mine and Lou's art" and "I share this account with my best friend Lou " which was absolutely creepy and terrifying.
I didn't find out who this person was until they managed to find and hack my email. They sent messages to all of my contacts pretending to be me, and had sent offensive messages to my friends.
I think they hacked at least 3 accounts of mine? But they did so much damage...

Thankfully I somehow managed to get rid of this control-freak. I haven't heard from them since. I really hope this sort of thing doesn't happen to me again ono

These are some interesting stories. Thanks to all of you for sharing.

Worst experience online...? I don't really remember any specific one that stood out. There was a photo of me with a nasty message overlaid on top of it that was floating around for a bit. There was a huge argument with my friend. There was the constant battle between two gaming servers that ended my friendship with that friend. Other than that... not a lot.
