Well, except the TV and radio ads saying “…or visit our website at double-you double-you double-you dot Company dot com. Again, that’s double-you double-you double-you dot company dot com.”
YMMV, but it didn’t get annoying until apps entered the picture and the only way to deal with certain companies was through their app.

My old brain still thought of site addresses as having www in them, but this post just made me realize that’s more uncommon than not to see it any more.

I’m about that same age but am so glad we’ve largely abandoned the “www” for websites.
On my personal project website, I have a custom listener setup to redirect people to “aarp.org” if they enter it with “www” instead of just the base domain.
server { listen 443 ssl; http2 on; server_name www.mydomain.xyz; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.xyz/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.xyz/privkey.pem; ssl_dhparam /etc/nginx/conf.d/tls/shared/dhparam.pem; ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3; ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m; ssl_session_timeout 15m; ... location ~* { return 301 https://aarp.org/; } }

that’s… a terrible idea for a portfolio site of any sort. why would you intentionally hamper accessibility? what if their company VPN automatically routes yoursite.org to www.yoursite.org? i personally wouldn’t spend the time spending out why i was looking at AARP, i’d just pass you over and not hire you, let alone reach out.

I don’t think it works the way you think it does.

Oh, I totally forgot the www thing. That was super annoying. Good riddance!

The only one I didn’t hate was the jingle:
“That’s F-R-E-E that spells free credit report dot com, baby”.
