found this by mistake years ago. this is what the internet was created for.
The '00s to the early '10s were magical years on the Internet. Content created for the love of the game alone. Trying new and weird things to see what sticks. Big money moved in and took it all from us…
Yeah, I’m old. I got my CS degree in 1985 - so I was into computers pre-internet, certainly pre-world-wide-web. When the web started booming and everyone was making we pages with all sort of content, and when search engines were really trying to just find the stuff you were looking for with no other agenda, I was so full of hope. I thought this was really going to be a technology that could get information to anyone who wanted it, people would be more informed, and it would really bring us all closer together.
Modern tech philosophy has changed so much from those days. My passion for the Internet and technology has waned and I really only hang out in niche corners of the Internet now. I’m no longer inspired or fascinated by tech… IDK if that’s just getting older or if it’s the commercialization of every aspect of the Internet. I’ll say modern tech has me more cynical.
I miss the old Internet, but I’m happy to find old Internet content that I hadn’t seen.

In other words, I was a naive dumb ass.

It’s because it’s all been so enshitified. Corporate profit optimization has just killed so much.
