The internet was way worse back then, tbh. Before it went hard mainstream with **** like Myspace/Facebook and Ebay/Amazon, everything was super niche and skeevy as ****, and forums were mostly populated by trolls, scammers, and irrationally obsessed weirdos, without any post-memeist self awareness.
Those were the days when **** like Nigerian prince scams weren't the joke they are today, they were actually shockingly effective. And hackers had carte blanche to do whatever the **** they wanted, 'cause cops had no idea what the internet even was.
Talking to people online was awful. 90% of all interactions were just the word "penis" typed over and over, because repressed dorks couldn't get over how they could finally be rude to people without fear of being punched in the face. And even worse, people still thought "first!" was clever.
**** the og internet days.
