[QUOTE="samzeman, post: 249051, member: 11182"] What I find mind blowing is that YouTube got ads for the first time in 2006, less than a year after it launched. And was bought by Google that same year. I remembered it being independent and ad-free for far longer. But I think the ads were unintrusive image banners etc for a long time. Netscape was gorgeous and my favourite browser that I have never actually used, being too young lol. I just miss when the internet had this kind of vibe - that it was cosmically significant, it was an information superhighway, something entirely new. Though it still is all of those things. It's just been commodified :( [ATTACH type="full"]16749[/ATTACH] I spent ages and ages playing one of these, I think I had Catz and Dogz, it's still a unique art style that I appreciate. Stuff from the past is always so worth looking at - after all the dust has settled, and the boring, tacky, cheap aesthetics have been forgotten, all that's left is diamonds in the rough. If you want 90s-2000s gifs - [URL="https://www.cameronsworld.net/"]Cameron's World[/URL] this is the place to go. Also there is this: [URL="https://archive.org/details/rotatingfood5"]Another Gallery of Rotating Food GIFs : various artists : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive[/URL] which has many retro gifs but also many modern ones.
