i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

    The broadness of the internet… Now its like 12 main websites and they are all time stealing scams with tedious or generic content

    Not having to click some accept data mining cookie banner before I can see the site.

    The lack of monetisation and the irrelevant ads that did exist were sat on the website itself…

    Active forums. everything seems to be a subreddit now

    There was no google. I used dogpile…

    Stumbleupon and curated bookmark lists… The fact I had hundreds of sites bookmarked and categorised.

    Dodgy assed chatrooms… Asl… Creepy question In hindsight.

    I dont miss under construction banners, color clashing sites and low resolutions
