  god what I wouldnt give to go back to the days of the mid 90s, when the internet was nothing more than a collection of tech weirdos, with websites being nothing more than passion projects with no advertising, no SEO, no search engines, etc etc.

    Try a different search engine.

      Tried a few searches. “no results”. Oh well

        It’s a small web search engine so there is not a result for everything (as there was in the early Internet). The ‘Explore’ feature is probably more entertaining (stumble upon-esque) than using it as an actual search engine.

        Kagi isn’t bad at not serving up crap, but it requires a subscription eventually.

    there was plenty of advertising on america online though almost ever keyword was to a business that was an advertisement.

    i do agree that web 1.0 and the 90s internet was superior

    Can’t we go back? What’s stopping you?

      the pesky linearity of time as we understand it.

        I’m going to risk that going back to personal websites would be a blast. And people would enjoy it.

      Nothing, really.

      We’re the only ones stopping ourselves. The 90s and everything that made is ‘great’ is still here, we just choose not to use it.

  That’s not gonna happen, and I even disagree with the statement but I can see the merit in it.

  That being said the new business model will be the old business model, where everything is paid for. And I do not think that’s so bad, for example I’d pay for a browser if it respects my privacy.

  You can’t say something like that without bringing forth some arguments…
