What are some of the rules about the Internet that were taught to you but are now completely ignored? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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.

the Internet never forgets

this one goes both ways, if someone is doxing you, it'll be online FOUR FUCKING EVER, but if it was a cool website/funny meme/ good software, it's probably on somebody's downloads folder, but it can easily disappear and you'll never see it again.

I am desperately trying to find a video from last week but I'm very likely am never going to see it again

I'm guessing you also had it on your screen, then when you unlock your phone, it showed for just enough time to recognize it, but not enough time to react and open it to play it, then facebook or youtube auto reloads you to the homepage without warning.

It was a 30 minute long video, I watched it last week. I searched and searched in my PC and phone youtuve history but can't find it.

It had a bit about how every part of a supply chain is trying to leverage its position for dominance, and that this shape the end product
