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.
