I remember the days growing on dialup using AOL and 'WoW(? i think)' this is much better

there's collaborative fiction and art all over the place, people easily talking and sharing their work and hobbies from homebrewing and math to the wookiepedia, gamejams, SCP, game mods, whatever is it kids do in minecraft and roblox even when it comes the mainstream there's stuff like (blockclub, the athletic ..etc ..etc ..etc)

If anything I think what all of these "old internet" articles illude to is the authors feeling nostalgic for when they were part of what they considered to be counter-culture or lost interests they want to burry themselves in

This could be in and of itself countercultural, and I think perhaps the walled gardens are our thing to rage against today.
