If you've ever found yourself missing the "good old days" of the #web, what is it that you miss? (Interpret "it" broadly: specific websites? types of activities? feelings? etc.) And approximately when were those good old days?
No wrong answers — I'm working on an article and wanted to get some outside thoughts.
@molly0xfff how personal it was. modern web is 90% websites hosted by corporations with little personalization, most websites are something like [company].com which is just sleek informational content. on websites like YouTube where you have a personal public account, you get some degree of control, but everybody's account looks more or less the same. This lack of individuality combined with HEAVY commodification (ads on every single damn page!!) just makes browsing the modern web feel like a chore.. site builders like wix and squarespace make this even worse as what was previously a chance at personal expression (building your own personal or business site) has become yet another centralised service.
