>>317992I have been reading internet pages since about 2006 when Wikipedia was the big novelty and most chans were in their developmental stage
There was some seriously funny and seriously screwed up stuff altogether
Those strange memes, Advice Animals, Tubgirl, 2 girls 1 cup, Mr. Hands, all that sexually offensive stuff, creepy stuff, copypastas
A serious case of a stalker in California who was causing pretty serious trouble to various women and who got arrested various times
Another guy in California who got arrested after making threats to an online dictionary website
Underage stuff appreciators who had their own wiki and chat rooms
The whole 5 guys burger and fries thing with the Gamergate
The Nungesser-Sulkowicz story
Strange times
You could argue about the enshittification of the internet but overall I think things have improved, even if they're more boring now
