This is a revisionist and blatant lie. I’ve been online longer than some on here have been alive and at no point was this ever true for any meaningful period of time. Adblocking the web has been available since the 90s in some form. Popup blockers and image blocking was not terribly uncommon. Some ISPs even tried blocking this at their level as a means to help make dialup feel faster! So please tell me, when was this “vibrant place”?
