Nostalgia and Thinking about old YGO Times

Yeah, today I hadn't nothing to write, but I wanted to, so while thinking of some decks to review, I noticed (or better, remembered, I knew those things even before this) of how much YGO has changed. In the past, decks were coolest than now, because now they all look similar. It's annoying how who goes first wins in alot of situations, even when running 4fun (just see revolutionary mill, for example, or better there's every deck that has an antimeti-ish or control-ish part). By setting everything you avoid Wind-Up loop, but you can fear Inzektors, this means that no matter what there are some staple card that are more staple than others, like 3 effect veiler, 2 warning, 1 judgment, compulsory, and so on. This means that pretty much all of the deck in today's meta have the same base. Knowing this, alot of decks are unplayable, you won't even try to run a deck that fears veiler, solemn trio and compulsory if it isn't an FTK. So if you want to play seriously you need either to play with your friends, or use meta decks, antimeta decks, or FTK decks. First options won't let you play in tournaments, second option is a little more complicated. If you use a meta deck, you're considered a Mainstream Follower (or something like this), if you're playing antimeta you're considered annoying, if you're playing FTK you're considered anti-sportive and if you (try to) play some semi-competitive 4funs you're considered a noob. Well, I'd say, "Screw what other persons thing, I'm having fun". But that's not applicable to alot of persons who want to play in a tournament and win it.
Sorry for the reilef (hope this is good, first time I use this word), just wanted to write it down.
