People ask, “What was the Internet like 25 years ago?”

Well, people cared a lot more about things.

You could visit someone’s site that was devoted to things they loved, and you’d come away with the idea that they put something of themselves in it.

Sure, there were assholes and trolls and spammers. But it was mostly people talking about things that made them human.

But nowadays, there’s little of that. And if you try, it’s “slop”.
