Two 2000's tech things I'm shocked still exist
(lemmy.world)

PCMag - I used to physically walk into a store and buy that magazine to read about computers…before the internet was so clean and fast it made for a better news and media experience. I’m pretty sure PCMag has been around since they included AOL cds with an isssue.

Woot! Lol…why? Woot was always stupid. The deals were never good. There is no need for it.
Both of these give me a lot of nostalgia for the early 2000’s. Playing games on Yahoo messenger. GameCube, PS2, OG Xbox.
Shocked they still exist, let alone have the funds to be running Facebook ads.
I noticed the severe enshittification, but I didn't realize it was due to an Amazon buyout. That makes a lot of sense. I used to check it every day and now it's just when something like this post crops up, out of curiosity.
There were some interesting write-ups around the time he launched his follow-up, Meh. This D Magazine Article is a good overall view of what went wrong with Woot.
I got my poop knife from meh!
The worst thing is they killed off the hilarious weird dialogue they used to do with their mascots.
