It's a nice nostalgic reminder of what the web used to be - when it was just made up of people wanting to express their interests.
A time where ads, tracking and Javascript weren't a thing.
3 big graphical ads, and if you click on the "best sites" thing on the bottom, it links to an analytics site. On mobile, so I'm not really setup to investigate further.
But I do miss sites that were done just because someone loved something.
