Eternal September, web edition. Or maybe I joined late when it was already fucked? Near 2000 we had to deal with all kinds of shenanigans, browsers having no standards, outright freezing when you did some thing with your webpage, obnoxious banners, popups, popunders, a lot of games on the web already had micro-transactions in the form of high price SMSs (which silently subscribed you to things, only for you to find out later in your monthly bill). When was it better, in the BBS era? Except not, because I watched a documentary and even then, people complained about the same thing. Older internet had nice things and shit things and the same can be said about the modern internet, except now I can install a proper ad blocker.
