No, I don't. Not since 2000, when I logged on from home for the first time. The majority of it has always sucked. Then the web can suddenly do new things... and finds new ways to suck.
It has, however, always had excellent little areas and corners.
Right? Do you remember going to websites and your computer would yell out that you were watching porn? Ads would burst forth like you just won fucking Solitaire. Shit took forever to download, and if you lost connection in the middle, start over!
I guess if you started using the Internet after like 2008, when things really started to take off, you saw a golden hour. But it was a dangerous place in the early 2000s, although I learned a lot about how to unfuck computers in my quest for boobs as a teenager.
I miss early YouTube that had full episodes of just about any TV show illegally uploaded without any sort of copyright enforcement.
I also miss reddit, but what it used to be is gone forever.
Knowing about "Temporary Internet Files" while my family was unaware made me feel like some sort of God of knowledge.
Oh and yeah I think I found porn there hooray!
