This essay is a nostalgic trip back to the 90s when the web was still free and for the people. It wasn't taken over by the marketing departments of corporations yet. There were no gatekeepers like Google back then. The web was a bit weird but it was diverse and thriving. It was like a solarpunk version of the current corporate web. I didn't really use the WWW till about 2005, but I wish I had seen the times when the web was completely indie.
