pays for own domain/no ads

There is a 0% chance you were an adult in the early 2000s lol

Imagine having ads in things but instead of just being there, they opened in new windows, were loud as fuck, and opened by the hundreds. That's what the Internet was like

Pop up blockers walked so ad blockers could run.

I'm 49, dude. And the meme isn't about "the internet". It is literally about the difference between people sharing stuff back then and "creating content" today. Shitty internet parts have always been shitty, but at least people didn't try to monetize even their beloved ones' death.
