Well, today I had a fit of nostalgia for the old Internet without algorithms and moderation and I want to ask you, do you remember this? (lemmy.world)

I mean those weird and gory YouTube videos and stuff with the blackest humor and seas of blood and a real living soul.

I even re-watched some videos, some from archives, some from open access, and it was magical, a little strange of course, but damn alive. Doctor, I want to go back to the past. And the most important thing is that there was no AI.

Does anyone still remember the times of the 2000s and 2010s?

Edit: Oh yeah, can you also send links to some videos or art or even music that you liked before.

I've been an Internet user since 1995. Gather round the fire, kids, and let me tell you stories about a place called Stile Project, old tales about Fatty Big-Eye and his friend Bruce, and how everyone used the f slur like it was their first name!

Stile Project...

I had been on that site for years when my sister tried to traumatize me with "Two girls, one cup"...

I laughed, then showed her "Return of the Japscat" and the pain Olympics.

Do not recite the old magicks to me...
