My pick would be, dealing with the ‘wild west’ atmosphere. That being, before cyber bullying laws existed, you had bunches of people getting off scot-free with telling you to off yourself or call you a list of derogatory terms.

    The looks I got trying out online dating back in the day! The dates I got back then were… interesting. Dating sites were one aspect of the internet that needed a mainstream following.

    I miss when google still proclaimed to not be evil, and I didn’t need every damn ad and tracker blocker imaginable on Firefox just to kick around.

      Online dating? What a weirdo! You should have put some personal ad talking about how you enjoy long walks on the beach in your local newspaper or called one of those party lines where you chat with random people to meet a partner like the normies! /s

      Kinda funny to look back on it now and see how opinions have changed so drastically.
