We thought it couldn’t get better than this, and in fact it didn’t get better.

The last 20 years was better and better browsers and web technologies, but the result now is a web that loads slowly and has tons of ads. Somewhere around 2008 was maybe the best, I dont remember exactly what year. But when the web was actually good and social media was not big yet.

I didn’t mind the early 2000’s web experience. You just kinda had to know how to get around, know what the fake download button looked like, not type your real name anywhere, have a little patience. The barrier to entry was slightly higher, which kept the masses away.
I think it was great, even with all its problems. Way less corporate too.

1997 to before Facebook existed were the best Internet years.

Already running a dns ad blocker, but this wasn’t really a comment about how I personally avoid ads.
