People always refer to a quite intangible concept called "the old Internet" and associate it with various characteristics (more open/free, less grifting, freeze peach, etc.).
So this made me wonder: what is "the old Internet" to you, Anon?
Personally, I will never forget browsing and reading through various ED articles (which, ironically enough, would have led to people calling me a newfriend in 2010) on youtubers of yore and happenings. What do you associate with ye olde Interwebs?
