This is the kind of website that needs to come back! No "cookies bs", ads everywhere, "plz sign up to my mailing list", "share your location", "comment where are you from", "buy my ebook", subscribe, share.

… and full of page-turning information! That was a really interesting read :)
I've recently come across a language learning website that was nothing but HTML and a very light bit of CSS. It was beautiful.
link?
I should specify, it was explicitly for Hungarian.
Ah, HungarianText Markup Language.
I meant the website. It's http://www.hungarianreference.com.
Still has a gigantic blocking ad on mobile
You forgot notifications
You're right. I can't edit it now but follow me for more content like this. /s
It really hurts to see what a dumpster fire the internet of today is compared to the 90s or even the Web 2.0 days. There are some things we have now like Anna's Archive that are gems, and I'm sure a number of other hidden gems out there I don't even know about, but it's buried in all the noise. The Big Tech sites have infested and taken over everything and ruined it all, and the masses are happy to go along for the ride. I would argue that Eternal September was not an isolated event but a sneak preview of the Hell to come, like the beginning of a tidal wave when the first part surges in.
