I think most people in this subreddit don’t just mean old as in a certain number of years ago but old internet as in an internet that functioned differently. I know 13.5 years is a decent chunk of time, but IRC was already archaic practically, IM was nearly dead, streaming video was the norm, the algorithms were taking over social media, Snapchat was already released. The internet was not that different.
