100% agree with this article because I'm discovering "the old Internet" right now, for the first time.

I'm a refuge from all the big social media websites who was desperately looking for something calmer and quieter online, like the stories I'd heard of older Internet forums. I was too young to experience them during their heyday. Extremely grateful that I've not only found it, but that it's still alive and well, waiting for me!

My hope is that more people grow tired of algorithm-driven feeds and seek out alternatives. If I was able to, I have hope others can.
