Ok. That's fair. That's basically the way I remember them too. I just see that more like a distributed "web directory" used for cross promotion than a social network, but I guess it kinda sits in between.

It was self-promotional but not in cynical or necessarily commercial way, kinda like social media before "influencer" became a job title.
