MODERATORS
I miss Flash games on browsers. Limewire. YouTube before influencers.
I miss the joy of StumbleUpon back when the web was exciting and unique.
Whenever I think of the good old days of the internet (like 2000-2009) I think of using stumbleupon and finding the best and most random stuff.
It's still there but it is not the same. I spent waaay to many hours in weird places thanks to that stumble button. Still regularly go to KOL, which I found there.
