take me the fuck back to when the web looked like shit like i miss the fuck out of that

WE NEED WEB RINGS IM ALWAY SAYING THIS

Some of the "Web 3" evangelists on twitter would talk about how the blockchain would make the future web cool and it would end up sounding like Geocities + webrings, except that you have to pay up for some blockchain thingy first.

ugh yeah "how do we get people to pay for something thats free" is like their whole thing

not to mention that every blockchain webring would probably need the equivalent of half a new coal fired power plant

Remember when NFT bros were getting super pumped about the Metaverse because they were going to do real estate on the internet?

And did zero research, because Second Life has been selling virtual land for like decades lol

I'm pretty sure Zuck invested billions into the metaverse because he caught someone playing Second Life at work and they told him it was a prototype so they didn't get fired

That's the heart of capitalism

Agreed!

the simple joys of the hamster dance

i miss when everything looked like shit in fun ways, due to incomprehensible but clearly intentional design choices, instead of due to ads and pop-ups everywhere

It used to have a wav of me going "meow" that went along with it. That's my baby Kay. She was the sweetest cat.

The work needed to make that happen is *checks notes* under construction. Whatever that means.

Well its starting to look like shit again. Just. Less fun shit. 😔

I miss the custom YT backgrounds SO much, like when it took up the whole page and you could have different text colours and shit

Well, now you can't see the web from all the pop ups, so maybe it still looks like shit underneath?

Check out SpaceHey. Not that it looks like shit, but people don't use the site for modern features that keep them "engaged". Also, A LOT of geocities ass looking profiles, and I mean that in the best of senses. I barely use it tbh, but I absolutely respect what the admin is making there.

I miss the and tags

HTML coded websites, my beloved 🫶🏼
