I feel like I missed a lot of the early internet while it was happening because I had dialup and it was already a DSL/cable era pretty fast by the end of the 90s. So many times you'd click an image link and go "ehh maybe I didn't care enough to see it after all" after it only loaded 10% of the pixels after way too long. I couldn't even play runescape for years; the site at the time ran a speed test and would just tell me my connection was too slow not even letting me into the world to test. Parents would set an egg timer for computer usage so every second counted which only added to the frustration and stress.
