back then it was more about community and sharing interests

now its more about how can corporations make the most money as possible by selling data to advertisers

i don't know when exactly the change happened, probably around the time that facebook replaced myspace. the emphasis on a sterile, clean interface versus the artsiness and creativity that myspace offered was a foreboding of the direction the internet was taking

flash games were works of art whereas mobile games are just obnoxious money making schemes

If she said we partied, then I'm pretty sure we partied. I really don't remember. I remember we departed from our bodies.

Yes. This site, YTMND and playing Diablo and StarCraft on Battle.net were my jam. I miss those days.

I miss the feeling of stumbling into old online communities and finding people that had similar interests.

Now there's a fucking reddit page for everything which I wouldnt mind, but the formatting of that website is fucking awful.

This. There were plenty of awful things about the old Internet that we tend to forget when reminiscing.
