It’s not obscure, but, for me, Wikipedia is the ultimate example of the old internet that still persists today.
Free to use, no account required, ad free, non-corporate, multilingual, heavily biased toward text, simple and utilitarian design. Hyperlinks concatenate relevant pieces of information, which serve as the means to navigate the site. The code is very simple (seriously, view the page source of a wikipiedia article). It’s based on the human desire to learn and share knowledge with others, and has remained resilient to corruption by commercial interests that pervert that desire for monetary gain. It’s a beautiful thing.

How is it that 2 days after this posted no one has said “Craigslist.”
Aw i miss when website tracking was only “xxxx users have visited this page” and it was just a simple counter that counted up.
Don’t forget signing the guest list.
I remember being so proud when I implemented that on my first website.

From a time when websites used

Has Real Ultimate Power actually changed at all/added new content? I was reading that in elementary.
I see YouTube videos linked, and I remember being on this site before YouTube existed. I don’t think it has changed all that much, though.
