I always thought whatever generation comes next will have it so good, because the i ternet is fast and well developed and shit. But no, the internet actually peaked in 2000. With all the ads now, it’s barely usable anymore. Does anyone remember when you would go to a website and not immediately click it away because it’s just a clickbait ad filled minefield?
I remember websites having links to other websites that weren’t really affiliated and that being as effective as an searches. You clicked through the internet like it was a file folder system managed by thousands of html authors playing the telephone game.
Ooh! Remember what was the original premise of Google’s PageRank? A site was classified as more valuable if other sites linked to it. …I have no idea exactly what they do nowadays, because clearly search engines have every reason to be suspicious of people linking to other sites.
1990s internet. Yeah it had to start somewhere and a lot of them were butt-ugly for design. Now 2000s internet up until roughly 2009, that’s the shit.

Haha ahhh pre-enshitified internet was so good. Anonymity through obscurity ig.
Not sure i’m particularly concerned what most search provides consider “suspicious” these days.
All my homies were part of a webring.
