To me the internet felt bigger in the early 2000s than today. I went to more individual web sites than I do now, though they had less on them, and there was more diversity in how individual sites looked than today.
- BeFlatXIII 5y agoI agree with you. Instead of being four sites incessantly reposting from the other three, it was an adventure to type in random dictionary words and append .com just to see what lay on the other end. Perhaps even .net if you felt adventurous. These days, doing that gives the impression that the only options for random surfing are porn, SaaS businesses, and ad-filled parking pages. The porn and parking pages have always been with us: it's the directly commercial nature of the remains that soured me from surfing like I did in middle school.
