You appear to be referring to the late 90s then? Maybe?

Because as soon as advertising kicked off JS usage did too. Even before then the DHTML movement had successfully moved JS into spaces people didn’t know it could be on the web.

You’re romanticizing an era I lived and worked through: it wasn’t really like that.

It was exactly like that, man. Dirt cheap hardware of these days could view web easily. The same is not true for today. Maybe you worked through specific areas or simply was tired to death and now deromanticizing it, because I clearly remember when things went downhill in general.
