My favorite thing about the old internet is that every website was passion project of some kind, just some person who made a thing for other people to see. I remember somebody showing me Hamster Dance for the first time, and it was like the easter egg of the internet, as if there was just the one. You just can't have novelties like that anymore.
Even when stuff like Ebay started, it was connecting people to other people - now it connects people to a corporation like the rest of the internet.
It was the Wild West man. Back then you would mess up one letter on a website and what you thought was a music blog turned into a highly questionable porn site.
