  Yeah, early 2000s was a great time for the internet. Tons of people making things and putting them on the internet for free or at the very worst, with a tiny ad from a banner ring at the bottom. Even early Facebook was awesome

    when i was still in school, we always were allowed to used the computers from time to time to browse the internet. and websites had ads, hut it usually was 1-2 banners… it didn’t feel that extreme overloaded and i even looked at them. I thought they were uninteresting, but I didn’t care much. this days i have a allergic reacting against all ads. going online without a adblock feels like websites slap me with a huge block of wood or stone directly into my face over and over and over… it’s crazy.

    i really can’t understand how this days people can still not go crazy without a adblocker.

      Yeah, ads were fine until they started being invasive.
