Was early 2000s Internet as good as people here say?

pre social media internet was good but the porn sucked because video streaming wasn't really a thing and you'd end up downloading random quicktime crap

No. they're just rose tinted glasses memer

Outside of "muh normie invasion". Everything is 100x better. It's fucking nuts how you can do pretty much everything on the internet now a days.

Yes it was like the wild west with illegal activities, being individuals, and money stuff

Do you remeber when the Internet was esoteric and hard?

tech wise NO,

but there were way way fewer tards on there than now, you needed a half a brain to get on line back then

It was better earlier. In the 90s, people got on the internet to create content, not consume it. More and more that changed until the majority of the people on the internet were consuming content instead of creating it. You can see the slow decline over the years.

Or accidental pizza from limewire. Actual cp on Usenet went away after dejanews got bought by altavista and the independent servers started to consolidate and become more visible.

Sure, if you get on the internet like you turn in the television. If you're a brain dead passive consumer of the content other people generate, then yes, the internet nowadays is much, much better. In the old days you actually needed to interact with communities you were a part of.

agreed for both
porn was hard to come by and you actually had to download anime episodes instead of streaming like we have today.

There were was also no alt-right nutjobs proclaiming they are the enlightened eight trying to uncover some huge jewish conspiracy nor were there any bat-shit insane sjws or far left "snowflakes.

When people were racist they were doing it for the controversy more so than anything "DOUBLE NIGGER TIME"


>>37893385
I remember the only newgrounds flash gangs, funny dudes, many of them have moved on to actual animation careers

>>37893206
4chan Reddit Tumblr and social media are all that exists any more. Prove me wrong, you can't.

>>37893206
no no no no no no

endless flash games made by and for retards and eternal torrents for files that aren't actually are what they were labelled as. The only thing good about it was that I was young-ish and impressionable, so that goes double for all these 20 year old kids who were like 5 years old back then.

>you needed a half a brain to get on line back then

what are you talking about my idiot family was able to get online back then, this was the early 2000s not early 1990s

faggot if I want to interact with communities I wouldn't be sitting at a computer I'd be baking pies with old ladies at a church or something

^ and now you see what happened to the internet and why it's fucking garbage now. >>37893206 Are you paying attention?

Just the opposite actually, people complain that there are too many normies on it and social media.
