Serious question: Do you think the 'old Internet' still exists to such a degree? I'm not just talking about link rot (although most of my links from a decade ago sadly no longer work), but also things like outdated content, like a car review of a 2010 Toyota.

I don't know if the old internet exists anymore, as much as I want it. Sure, we are at an old internet site right now (Hacker News), but what more?

I think it does, the signal is just overwhelmed by the commercial internet. I imagine the number of creative, interesting people who publish their content is approximately linear growth, while the number of ways the commercial internet tries to "reach out" and expand is geometric.
