Top Comments of this video!! :3
Shoutout to Youtube for giving me a recommendation I actually wanted to watch for once, great video!
I'm mainly nostalgic for the way the web was, as the very late 90s to mid 00s when I was entering my teenage years led me on many nights of happy hyperlink hopping. The loss of Geocities, Homepages and their ilk grieves me deeply, and seeing all those tiling backgrounds, unreadable text and gifs that are dithered to within an inch of their digital life just fills me with absolutely terminal nostalgia. You got a real sense of the person behind the page whenever you checked out one of these sites, and there was such a wonderful feeling of discovery, especially when you found something on an obscure subject, or a tidbit on a fansite that was new. As convenient as having everything on only a few sites is, it sometimes feels like we lost a whole, if nascent artform to the ravages of time, its examples thankfully frozen in amber thanks to the Wayback Machine and the archive.
With that said, I propose that as a group, we all simply find a time machine and travel back in time to somehow keep that era of the internet going, and maybe, if there's time, warn some people about disasters and avert tragedies and whatnot...but you know, keep the internet wacky, top priority!

I used internet since 1991 before web even existed, so i have seen it all since day 1 of web. I remember people worldwide stole these animated icons from each other and placed them all over their web sites to look cool. Internet were mostly FTP, IRC and E-Mail in MS-DOS 1991. FTP were maily used for high speed piracy with fast internet lines at schools, while others used IRC to speak with people worldwide.
