I never knew adblockers were a thing until the most recent hubbub with YouTube, so I went down a rabbit hole and the world is a better place.

Imagine what I might learn tomorrow.

I'm very curious as to how you survived on the Internet without an adblocker for the last decade.

[-] lepthesr@lemmy.world 37 points 10 months ago

My guess is they grew up with it like that. Us old fuckers privy to the Internet of the 90s and 00s, know what it should be.

Scrolling marquees, blinking text, background midi music, hit counters, guest books, and web rings?

Bring back hit counters

And guest books

And don't forget huge signatures with GIFs and all sorts of crap for your favourite forum.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

[-] lepthesr@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Well, it was also simple at the time. I guess growing up with the bs made us hate it, then they got gud, and kids don't care anymore today.

Now you just hit me with nostalgia. Yes, all of it.

[-] dukethorion@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

Ah, yes! The days of composing websites in Notepad.

[-] random65837@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

True, but we're not old.
