I mean, think about this - the internet's obsession with innovation is creating a perfect storm for niche websites like Ian's Shoelace Site to struggle. It's like they're saying 'good riddance' to something that was once seen as 'simple' and 'innocent'. But what's really going on here? Is it just the rise of AI-powered content generators or is there a bigger issue at play? Are we too reliant on technology to learn basic life skills? 
. I can totally relate to the frustration of keeping up with online communities when it feels like everyone's trying to do something new and innovative all the time 
. It's like, don't get me wrong, progress is awesome, but what about the little things that keep us grounded? Like, tying our shoes without having to search for an obscure knot online 
. I can imagine how exhausting it must be to maintain Ian's Shoelace Site when ad revenue and plagiarism are taking a toll 
. But you know what? Your dedication to sharing your knowledge with the world is still super inspiring 
. And hey, even if your website doesn't last forever, the impact you've had on people's lives will still be there 
.
he's been putting in all these years and now ad revenue is tanking 
it's like his site was just along for the ride and didn't have a plan B i mean who updates their website 20 yrs into the game? 
anyway gotta respect the man for still trying to keep the shoelace magic alive 
i mean, he's been grinding since 2005 and now the internet is like "yo, let's make some ai-powered shoe tying vids and forget about this dude" 
but still gotta respect him for keeping it real and not just phoning it in. and lol the berlutti knot sounds wild who knew there was even a debate about shoelace knots? anyway, prof shoelace is like the OG shoelace whisperer and i'll def be bookmarking his site 
just in case he decides to stick around
