TIL: The Internet I grew up with is absolute bonkers.
The Internet we live with now is no less bonkers and nearing utter unusability.
Both true, but for totally different reasons, right.
Early Internet was kinda bonkers because it was disconnected and unregulated and anonymous and nobody yet understood UX design so every site was different, yet always cluttered and overwhelming.
Modern Internet is bonkers because UX patterns and user behaviour is so understood and homogenised that every site is basically the same simplified interface, along with the same dark patterns that manipulate user behaviour to maximise corporate profit, rather than trying to give users what they actually want.
The old type of bonkers was far more preferable.
Pretty sure they mean bonkers in a pleasantly surprised way
i mean yeah, it’s like comparing the first car to a modern kei car, there’s been some obvious improvements despite the fact that most cars are oversized and way too sleek
the early web looks like shit, the standard modern website is hidden behind 4 layers of ads, but a modern website that isn’t shittified is pretty fucking great.
