Well, today I had a fit of nostalgia for the old Internet without algorithms and moderation and I want to ask you, do you remember this? (lemmy.world)

I mean those weird and gory YouTube videos and stuff with the blackest humor and seas of blood and a real living soul.

I even re-watched some videos, some from archives, some from open access, and it was magical, a little strange of course, but damn alive. Doctor, I want to go back to the past. And the most important thing is that there was no AI.

Does anyone still remember the times of the 2000s and 2010s?

Edit: Oh yeah, can you also send links to some videos or art or even music that you liked before.
