Comment on Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless.

  Not many people had their own website in the late 90s, same as today. Domain names are useful to some just like how some see NTFs are being useful.

  That’s… Not what the dot-com boom was.

  Your post is pretty nonsensical anyway, but if anything more people had their own websites as a proportion of the web, with Geocities and Angelfire etc. This was before social media, so to have a presence on the web you had to have your own site, and people did.

    You’re both correct. In the late 90s it was common to have your own webpage as a subdomain on someone else’s site, but not super common to have your own domain.

    Facebook and Instagram are still basically web pages on someone else’s domain.
