I mean, I’m not saying 90s internet didn’t have any of that, but I wouldn’t have described it as “overrun”. Seemed to me, as a child, like most of it was just companies getting an online presence for their existing business to try and be part of wave.
Ah it’s like when a new Game is out and there is no Meta so it’s random fun until the try hards are min maxing and now I have to min max to compete sucking the fun.
Yeah, that’s a pretty decent analogy. It was a wild time, and my fondness is probably tainted by nostalgia, but I’d trade our current internet for it in a second.
