    The internet used to be way crazier back in 2000’s or smth.

    It was less popular, so now there’s just way more stuff, but a larger % used to be crazy shit.

      Crazier as in, less controlled. Less moderated from corporations. A lot more flew back in the day both in terms of content sharing and what you could say and do, but it was very difficult to access.

      The closest thing we had to algorithmic short-form content was YTMND.
