    I miss the internet being a wild west.

    It certainly had its downsides, but it felt a lot better than the nonsense that’s been happening over the past decade+.

      I remember being on GeoCities or Lycos and just incrementing the site number to see different sites.

      Star Trek, Star Wars, Lego, PORN!

      It’s the same as fighting against “fake news” which just creates a false trust that everything on the internet is truth. Which is the opposite of what one should believe.
