Does the Internet not contain a vast amount of ugly design, slow pages, and sex services? That’s just a function of humanity, the medium it’s expressed through doesn’t alter that.

Those aren’t even sarcastic questions, I’ve only lightly learned about minitel but was fascinated because I’m under the impression that they took a different tech tree than what The Internet has
