As the other comment said, the decades. I could have used 2010’s I guess, it is just hard to refer to the first decade of the millennium that way.

If we had known how fleeting the glory of the early 2010s internet would be, with everything ad-free and seo still comparatively rudimentary, would that have made it easier or harder to watch it die?

Everything was free because interest rates were nothing, and every startup could use investor capital to cover their costs

And everything was simpler, you could throw something up on a $10/month shared host. Now you need a full stack of services running in the cloud charged by the minute.
