No they wouldn't. I'm guessing you're not old enough to remember a time before search engines. The public web dies without crawling. Corporations will own it all you'll never hear about anything other than amazon or Walmart dot com again.
Nope. That isn't how it worked. You joined message boards that had lists of web links. There were still search engines, but they were pretty localized. Google was also amazing when their slogan was "don't be evil" and they meant it.
I was there. People carried physical notepads with URLs, shared them on BBS', or other forums. It was wild.
There was also "circle banners" of websites that would link to each others... And then off course "stumble upon"...
Yes! Web rings!
I forgot web rings! Also the crazy all centered Geocities websites people made. The internet was an amazing place before the major corporations figured it out.
