What websites still feel like the old internet?

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Aw i miss when website tracking was only "xxxx users have visited this page" and it was just a simple counter that counted up.
I remember being so proud when I implemented that on my first website.
THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!!!
Yep! I did it for a final project, called DANK WEB. We implemented an airhorn counter. We found out the day before that it just stored the value it saw +1 to the DB so a bad actor could reset the count. Then we easily figured out that we could just reference the DB so we fixed the bad actor part.
We got a 98 on the final. It was the most fun I had on a project in all of college.
