Have you seen the web lately? I'll take the small, vetted, fan crafted internet of the late 90s over this SEO written content mill garbage mountain we have now.



But one does not remove the other. That web you so love is still there (well, except for GeoCities...) mostly. You can visit it. Subscribe to RSS. Watch funny dancing baby gifs, or under construction signs.

It's just that all that other stuff came too. In addition to that web you love. Not pushing it away, but shadowing it in volume. Yet, there is no space shortage. The web is an infinite library.

Not one that has to remove those seventies sci-fi books to make place for the new Harry Potter section. But one that can keep both.


You'd have to find it first. If the search engines don't promote it you'll never see it.


That web of the '90 did not have a search engine that promoted that web either.

Well, there was altavista (and, ahh, the memories Astalavista.box.sk) and some other ad-loaded websites.

As long as Google says so. And they haven't been open to new old-school sites, just to old ones.
