bhytre 2,753 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) I remember having internet before that, it was always an adventure trying to find new music and videos or just pictures on Napster and Limewire You never knew what you were getting after the long ass downloads and ridiculously low data caps weren't forgiving either. Youtube was pretty awesome once it started picking up, too bad it kinda started sucking once it got too popular. Worst trends? Fake reaction videos and those gay social experiments Certified SW banger back then, The Hoff Edited April 23, 2020 by bhytre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,906 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Once Google bought up YouTube and monetized it, it turned to shit. Just like everything else the early to mid 00s was peak internet. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaz 2,439 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 yea, we used emule for a long time and would let the pc on 24/7 to download a few mp3 files just to find out it's not what the titles says but whenever you got the music you wanted it felt like a blessing. youtube is crazy right now, almost everything gets released on it. also game downloads with multiple parts and then one part is offline after you downloaded the others.

SheepKilla 473 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Anyone else miss Windows XP and the old vintage keyboards and big monitors? Felt like a jet-force pilot's command center. I liked it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
