Yeah I have indexed a lot of em. I'm specifically talking about the ones that try to resemble the archetypal personal geocities site with tiled backgrounds, gifs, and whatnot. I've found that these predominantly were created as part of a web fad and were quickly abandoned.

I am all for handcoded html, SSGs, and minimal-to-no js.

I still enjoy those, because they're very true to the era. How many of us learned html by viewing source and copying bits from the sites we liked with no clearer vision than "I want that on my site, too!"?

To me, _any_ non-commercial human expression on the web is heartening, even if it lacks authenticity or taste. We've all been ruled by the effects of overreach of adtech for far too long.
