Old Internet was better. Way more raw and pure. No algorithms and ads littered everywhere trying to get people addicted to platforms and consume. I would much prefer the left side.

Do you remember the old internet pop up ads that would play sound and music at 100% volume? And there was no way to mute a tab back in the day (tab browsing was in its infancy), so you’d have to rush to turn down the volume or find that popup and kill it.

Yeah I don’t want those to come back lol.

There were definitely still ways to block pop-ups, and if you were really worried you just left your speakers at 0% volume 100% of the time.

If you leave your speakers on 100% all the time you're just asking for it.
