The early Internet, where every company aimed at kids had a website with free games, where everyone who wanted to share about themselves or their interests did so in their own little corner so you could rabbit-hole your way through the link trees, most stuff was non-monetized or had easy-to-block ads, and no tracking of your behavior was really happening.

People who weren’t online at the time can’t possibly imagine how truly awesome the Internet used to be.

I miss separate websites.

You should make one! Neocities works if you need a host, free with no ads

Yea. These people always fantasize about personal websites. There are still a lot of those outside of the mainstream websites.

I would rather a guess that it’s way more than the early days of the internet, but it seems like the most amount of effort these people can put is to whine about the good ol’ days.

Reminds me of MAGA folks.
