content: Being hipster is not the main reason why people dislike flash. It's closed source, it hogs recourses, it competes with an established standard, and it's a security threat. Also, it's extremely outdated, has not worked on smartphones for a while, and the Linux version depends on Google chrome in some way I don't really understand.  I used to laugh at my Mac using friends when Apple cut support; now, however, it's definitely time for flash to die. It's kind of like saying the hatred of Internet Explorer 6 was hipster circlejerking. No, it wasn't, Internet Explorer just sucked.
