Yeah I agree. Forums were better than that. Also, the "rules" of using the internet as a teen were being discovered at the same time so my hat off to the pioneers.
P.S. One thing I'm sorta worried about is how advertising pressures platforms to segregate between sexual and squeaky clean content. Like obviously something like actual sex ed content will suffer from that and also, could people be mildly horny once in a while in their spare time? In practice it seems like media of conventionally attractive women for male consumption will pass the gatekeepers much better than anything else and anything else is deemed too lewd much more often.
It was noble, perhaps, but in my book an erroneous one. It's absolutely chock full of interesting stuff, but I didn't enjoy it at all. But I am up for a rewatch.
