Why was early internet so cool?

It feels like it had style, whereas the internet today feels bland.

Of course I remember some of it, but I've never used the application, or known of the website in any way other than from movies/videos.

Casper · August 06, 2015, 11:10:28 AM

Because the general public and white girls hadn't gotten to it yet.

Plus youtube didn't have ads.

At one point my grandma's house had broadband, DSL and dial-up. She worked for Bellsouth and my dad worked for the Department of Revenue. It was...interesting.

That depends on how far back you go.
I think it's because there were less shitlords.
