Top 10 Most Annoying Things About the Internet

The Internet is one amazing thing, but just because something's amazing doesn't necessarily make it good. This list was made to show some of the dumbest or most annoying things about the thing you're using right now, the Internet.
The Top Ten
1 Viruses

How to not get (most) viruses:
1) Don't download things illegally 2) Don't click shady ads 3) Don't visit suspicious websites 4) Don't plug in random USB drivers you happen to find. But even then, you may end up getting a virus from something, if you're unfortunate enough.

Yes I guess pop-ups are annoying, but when a virus has crippled your computer to the point where pop-ups can are the least of your worries, I think the virus is the one true annoyance when surfing the internet.

Yep, that's far worse than a pop-up. Viruses can be dangerous, whereas a pop-up is only annoying. A virus can destroy your computer and give all your passwords away, a pop-up can be closed with only one click!

2 Pop-ups

If I see one more paper clip come up and ask me "I see you're trying to get the sex tape of your teacher in school, can I help? ".. well I lost my Train of thought but there still annoying.

Worse than these are those pop under ads. You get a sudden surprise when you close your browser window.

NO I did not win a million dollars. And no thanks, I don't want free viruses on my device, thank you.

3 Advertising

You're playing a web game, and suddenly a pop up ad blocks your game. This is annoying, especially when you're playing an online racing game. An ad comes out of nowhere and completely covers your game. So you need to slow down because you can't see where you're going and you don't want to hit anything. They also slow down your computer and your game. I hate those waiting ads. On most websites, you need to wait half a minute for the video ad to end just to play your game. I had to sit through a makeup ad just to play a racing game. What the hell! To make matters worse, the web game doesn't even load during the ad!

4 Cyberbullying

Cyber bullies are just dumbasses who have no lives and rather hurt people because they are hurt themselves and want to take it out on someone to feel like the bigger person. They probably couldn't even say the things they say on the internet to someone's face in real life.

I bet these cowards would be too scared to come out from behind their computer screens and say cruel things to someone's face.

People cyber bully you if you are a labour (UK) liberal (USA), a feminist, like stuff from a couple of years ago Twilight Saga, like topless men but are fine with boobs big ones, if you say My Little Pony is for girls, enjoy mainstream pop music 90s, 00s, nowadays, watch reality T.V. of talent shows, don't spell/use grammar properly. That is enough.

5 Trolling

On January 18, 2015, when my YouTube channel was in its infancy, a troll disliked every single one of my recent videos. I had a whole temper tantrum after discovering the dislikes.

I hate trolls even the good T.V. shows like avatar believe it or not has trolls but I bet they never watch the show their reasons why the show sucks doesn't make any sense. A lot of trolls don't make any sense

Most of them are idiots who want to annoy people.

6 Server errors

Only 77?! Fake end of the world videos are annoying but not more than server errors! Come on, I got a server error on the Minecraft Forum just yesterday and every time I closed my eyes for the rest of the day I would see it again. I was that annoyed that they just happened to be down at the right time for me to see the error, complete with the same old uninformative 500 code. Add an uninformative code that you've seen 100 times to an error message and it becomes unbearable.

7 Porn

It truly shows how desperate someone is and extremely disrespectful. Of course it's wrong for the person who actually posted the porn itself. It's wrong but apparently that's how humanity is these days.

They just did one for me now and am sure it's gonna get my into a major trouble because my sis saw it when I dropped my laptop and now she's surely gonna tell mom... how do I stop these ridiculous shenanigans?

Horrible. You're just surfing Google Images for a pic and a naked girl shows up. A great use for the back button!

8 Hackers
9 Doxxers
10 People who can't spell or use proper grammar

I don't have a problem when people use abbreviations, and to some extent I'm okay when people don't use punctuation, but some posts/comments are so ridiculous it's hard to take them seriously. Like on TTT you'll see a long-winded comment with absolutely NO way of telling where the sentences start or end so you have no idea what they're talking about. And other people make you wonder if they passed 1st grade english...

The best thing to do in any chat room is when someone gets made at you, point out all the spelling mistakes they made. They'll keep raging, making horrible spelling mistakes which you keep pointing out, etc.! It may seem annoying at first, but trust me, it's hilarious!

The Contenders
11 Lies

It's a shame that Wikipedia tends to be editable by anyone. I wonder if the facts I got weren't really facts? I know it's moderated and all, but you never know.

yeah I hate it when people spread lies about others, set them up, and make them look bad, it makes me feel so sick, really sick, that's like real pain, horrible just horrible, for a example, people bashing other religions and making stuff up about it!

There is so much misconception on the internet, it's the reason why many anti-vaxers are anti-vax and are later dying because of believing something they saw on the internet.

12 Fanbases

Okay, bronies are not a big problem anymore on the internet, but furries are still here, but FNaF fans? Give me a break. I get annoyed by the stupid rolelayers in the comments' section on YouTube. The comments' section ISN'T FOR ROLEPLAYING. And how many songs are being made on the game? Geez...The game is okay, but just because Markiplier played it doesn't mean it's THAT GOOD. And don't you DARE say you like he "lore". There's other horror stories like the FNaF's one, first of all. And second of all, since WHEN is the word "lore" FAMOUS? I never even heard of the word being spoken in 6 years. If the game is good for the said lore, why didn't the producer make a story instead? Okay, I like FNaF a lot, to be honest, but the BAD side of the fandom...it's just enough to make my brain rot. Feel free to dislike/like this depending on your opinions.

13 Error 404: Not Found

It's even more annoying when the internet bar is filled and it still says, "no internet connection". But this isn't a reason to hate the internet. Nobody can really control it.

What? What do you mean NOT FOUND? Where's the help link? Nobody's explained this to me! Anybody? Ugh...stupid errors...

It's so annoying when you click on something and it doesn't work.

14 Getting banned

I've once had a toonzone account with a different username but it had my main email. When I logged into my Banned Toonzone account I was completely unable to do anything. every time I tried to contact the help desk or EVEN tried to log-out, it kept giving me this error message saying that I was banned for the following reason: Rules violations.
It was a disaster, and I couldn't even do anything about my email being there!

Just an example of why I can't stand getting banned on several sites of the internet -_-

Also, someone's account getting banned from certain websites can be their own fault, but not always. Just saying!

15 Anonymous internet tough guys
16 Slow loading

Slow loading due to linking to advertising may not be worse than viruses or child predators, but it's pretty bad.

I am literally wired into my internet and it still is sometimes slow!

Yep, I get disconnected while playing online because of graphics card lowering FPS.

17 People who hate on things without trying them

I hated Jake Paul strongly before I watched any of his videos. My instinct was correct.

This is why you should never judge a book by it's cover.

This website also has it's fair share of such people.

18 Biased people

Biased people drive me insane.

19 Sign Up to Read This!

This is really annoying, I don't want to make an account just to read something

20 CAPTCHA & reCAPTCHA

These things really 'p' me off. You forget a password or try to register with a site and you end up spending the next 20 mins trying to read the damn code. I've got good vision but most of the time these are just unreadable. They're supposed to stop 'Bots' but only end up stopping 'Humans' as well.

This is so annoying. It doesn't even work anymore for my main way to be on the internet.

21 Connection problems

It especially sucks when you have connection problems. I'm glad that we don't use dial-up anymore.

It is really annoying when the internet keeps disconnecting or something, it drives me nuts

22 Blocked videos on YouTube

YouTube has been blocking Vocaloid videos due to fake copyright reports, or "this can't be viewed in your country" even though it never said that before!

I hate blocked videos, that should be higher up on the list.

It's sometimes good, like what if it was porn?

23 Screamers

I hate these. Once, I was watching a World of Warcraft video on YouTube, and at the time, YouTube recently updated their site with the inclusion of Google Plus, and at this time, you could post literally anything in the comments section. I clicked on a very convincing yet deceiving link supposedly about World of Warcraft's next expansion. Instead, I was abruptly greeted with flashing lights, an ear raping scream, and Jeff the Killer's face blairing on my screen. Screw screamers.

People call these "jokes" or "pranks", but what if I get seizures from flashing lights? Screams? HE-LLO, people! A lot of us have phobias and health problems with loud noises and flashing lights.

24 People who use autism as an insult

I'm autistic (ASD), and it hurts me how ignorant people are about autism. Usually, people use this to describe something cringey or stupid, when most of us autistics are actually really talented and smart. They used to use the word "retarded", which is quite insulting, but they decided to use another disability group to disrespect. Autism can be such a struggle, but people choose to insult us, comparing us to all sorts. People need to become more aware of disabilities in general, physical or mental. If you're someone who insults autism, take a moment to imagine how hard not being able to socialise might be, how hard controlling your emotions can be, how hard dealing with blaring sounds and extremely bright light could be. And imagine if someone was joking about you and making fun of you for that. How would you feel? You wouldn't want people to laugh if you were crying, would you? So why would you do that to us? Sorry if that got heated, I just needed to get my point across. Thank you.

25 Memes

Memes are so annoying, especially the dead ones. And they can also be racist and offensive.

All of the people who usse memes are just a bunch of 12 year olds. They will live in their mother's basement until they are thrown out.

There are good memes, and there are bad memes. Why has god abandoned us?
