Anyone else miss 2004 era of the internet?

[Bornstarch]

Seems like the internet culture was way better back then

 

[SugarKrok]

Didn’t watch the video. There nothing to miss in 2004 you can’t find online right now. What you maybe miss is that small sense of community, which you can probably find on a Reddit or discord if you look hard enough

 

[Pliny Pete]

I had never ever even used a computer or knew what the internet was in 2004

 

[bandicoot]

No, not really.

The golden era of Internet is around 2005 to 2010 in my opinion.

Sites like YouTube and Wikipedia are already around so it's easy to get entertained and find information. Google was still in its "don't be evil" stage, social media hasn't possessed and manipulated the population like today. And more importantly, Sherdog was around and the OT massacre hasn't happened

The internet was at its peak between 99 - 2010 and has been downhill ever since.

Sherdog 07-12 was GOAT era. But I think the rest of the internet is better now. Less viruses, more content. I can find whatever I want with a few key words.

 

[Osculater]

naw not really. Now the internet is faster and there are a lot of free streaming of everything

[My Spot]

I don't remember anything special about the internet in 04 but a shitload of great games came out that year.

Did a bot write this? blink twice if you're real

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

I do miss Newgrounds and YTMND.

Things like songs are far easier to access nowadays, and some YouTube content creators are hidden gems. I'd miss streaming services like Netflix and Prime too.

The only problems today are ads and censorship. Creators from back in the day are still going, but have had to restrict their stuff due to the algorithm.

What the hell was that shit?

 

[arathans]

the internet was great until stupid ppl got access

 

[PaddyO'malley]

I was not like current Internet as there was been too many much bots

 

[Long Dark Blues]

I miss the anonymous Internet.

I miss the 90s Internet.

When you had to know what you were doing to get on it.

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Old internet was better

 

[squeezewax]

No, i miss the era before the internet.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Napster Era was better
