The web was so much more fun in the 90s.

  Fun parts of the web still exist today, they're just struggling to be noticed. Arguably the biggest change since then is in signal to noise ratio.

    And the algorithms we live by. Google does not easily surface those websites. Social networks suppress posts with links.

    The problem is that most of the interesting content I'm interested is posted in the not-so-fun parts of the web, so I feel forced to participate.

    A lot of the good stuff got sucked in to walled gardens. People’s personal home pages or tacky MySpace pages were definitely more fun than the current semiprofessional content scroll. Forums like this very one were mostly subsumed in to Reddit. Nevermind the death of the bbs (not actually the internet I realise)
