Websites run by ordinary people, about things they're interested in. Explanations in text instead of monetized YouTube videos dragged out so they can cram more adverts in. Decentralization, with lots of little hosts and sites instead of large walled gardens of corporately owned "content". The absence of the concept of "content". Places where people would chat just because they enjoyed talking to each other. Email that wasn't mined for details of your personal life by megacorporations. Fascism still being universally reviled.

Yeah, I miss finding some very barebones website called like "Gary's Favorite Garlic Breads", just run by Gary, who isn't trying to turn a profit or be an influencer. He just loves garlic bread and wanted to share.

All those old websites with basic html were golden. Not always in quality, but in heart.

I work with Gary. He still likes to share, all the time, about everything. He talks a lot. F Gary
