oof, this piece just gave me severe old time rememberance nausea... i literally just want to go back just for a second..

everything is so different now.. there's good things too, i honestly feel like ive grown as a person thanks to youtube creators, sharing their lives and experiences and ive learned along with them, the 1000s of them. but.. man, nothing can compare to the dial-up sound of 1999 and those chat rooms ahaha. it hurts.

Totally agree! Almost an ache to think back on those times. But you’re right there are good things now too - I’m sure this generation will have some nostalgia for early TikTok days, haha. Although it still feels so different, you have less of a connection to this version of the internet because the relationship is more passive.

This is so true! For me the biggest struggle is music – I have access to Spotify but barely manage to find any music to listen to
