>millennials think this was better

>>106537207
its not so much that it was better, more that web2.0/3 is such dogshit that anything else is better than them
>>
It's just unfortunate that we had to get enshittified the moment the underlying hardware tech had progressed to the point of speed and efficiency
>>
>>106537207
It was better. Waiting for stuff to load made everything more chill and encouraged better time investment.
>>
Loading a modern website is about the same speed with Al the java script bloatshit
>>
take me back

>>106537207
you had to have longer attention span at the very least.

>simple ads or no ads
>no captchas
>no "prove you are a human"
>no technically illiterate people on the web
>search engines actually searched pages
>practically no censorship
>almost no DoS attacks on shit you hosted online

YES, IT WAS MUCH BETTER

>zoomniggers spam bait threads instead of talking about technology
>>
>>106537207
Zoomies cannot comprehend the power of frames and tables. Absolutely seething.

its zoomers that think that shit was better milenials remember how shit it was.

>Politics only on news websites
>No warmongering shills
>Boomer containment handled by GLP, fringe internet radio personalities, or swinger clubs
>No hyperactive clout chasing retards

Those were the days

The OPs video shows tons of annoying popup ads while the uploader is browsing "his" own web site.

Yes the Internet is faster now, but what's the point of it being faster if the content is fucking shit?
>>
56k no way

>>106537207
>things load in a sensible order so the page doesn't bounce up and down
Yes this was better.
>>
>>106537238
Yeah it's crazy how despite technology getting exponentially better, the experience of actually using it just gets worse and worse because at the same time they're trying to extract maximum value from every user all the time.

>>106537207
> pages written by actual humans about their interests
> thousands of cool and unique websites to explore
> simple text/links instead of miles of scriptslop
It was.

i hate millennials but they are right about this one doe
old internet was /SOVL/

Zoomers get instant 4K 60FPS porn. Back in my day son, we'd click next on the image and watch a nice young lady incrementally load down the page while hoping she'd be hot.

For all its flaws, the content on the page was useful, the ad didn't make the page unusable, and 1 minute of page loading is still faster than 2 minutes of forced ads before you can watch your video with 1 minute of stuff that answers your question but has been padded out to 10 minutes with bullshit waffling so it's eligible to show longer forced ads on.

>>106542127
When I say "I hate millennials" it's similar to the feeling you have towards zoomers.

>>106537207
>1998 was a webpage
>>
>>106537207
Yes. If you didn't get to experience internet in the 90s and early 00s then you missed out on peak civilization, sorry. The internet as it exists today is a soulless hellhole. I think this website is one of the few remaining remnants of the old internet, but even then it's not really because the user base has changed so much.
>>
>>106542309
Wrong, apologize for your microaggression right now.
