    when you look into this, you’d start to feel bad for Shmorby because really, he’s a well intentioned worm that was originally set out to help people navigate the internet, but was slowly driven mad by the atrocities lying within.

    • @calebmurray4438
      @calebmurray4438 3 роки тому +72

      My headcanon is that he’s some sort of demonic entity or insane serial killer who has overwhelming murderous impulses at times. He kills with his bare hands in fits of rage. However, he’s benevolent and trying his hardest to be lawful good, which creates an inner conflict.
      Support? If he were truly looking to be destructive, the advice in this video would be much better. Its a difficult argument to try and prove he isn’t benevolent. However, this is clearly not his first time burying a body, so he must be a killer. A benevolent killer can only be insane or otherwise forced into killing.

    • @googiegress
      @googiegress 3 роки тому +2

      ​@@edstevenskw5542 Imagine most content being institutional. Professionals wrote articles, snapped photos, etc. and they got posted through professional websites. Think Cracked, The Atlantic, or your local news website. Few ads, very few of them animated, no popups or popunders. No ads playing sound or moving around the page, although some webpages would play sound automatically when you opened them.
      There was engagement and user-generated content in the form of forums attached to websites. And people had their own websites, but you'd have few ways of finding it. A search engine query such as from Yahoo looking for content on that personal site, or clicking forward or back on a Webring link at the bottom (Webrings were interest-based lists of sites, and you'd add yours if it fit with the rest, and people could cycle through the list and return back at the top eventually). Blogging sites didn't really exist until the late 90s, Livejournal starting in 1999. A lot of conversation among friends happened in IRC channels, almost exactly like a text-only Discord. This and forum software was an upgrade from the previous BBS systems.
      There were also some online games, although nothing like the Flash game sites. Newgrounds started in 1995 and of course not everyone used it right away. Ultima Online was the first really huge MMO and started in 1997. Neopets didn't even come out until 1999.
      There were few ways for everyone to get together and talk about stuff. Amazon was a tiny online bookseller and started in in 1994, Google was literally just a search engine starting in 1998. Yelp in 2004, UA-cam in 2005, Twitter 2006, Instagram 2010. Basically none of the big websites you think of as the "killer app" of the Internet existed in the early 90s.
      In the 2000s Myspace / Friendster / et al were way more popular than Facebook. On Myspace you had a personal page where you'd customize its look, talk about stuff, post audio tracks and pictures, but there weren't so many engagement-forcing tools like Facebook has.
      Essentially you would, first off, make the decision to get online with your desktop PC or huge clunky laptop, connected with a physical cable to an Internet modem. You'd pick a website to go to because it probably had something you wanted. The website would show you what it showed everyone else; everyone's Internet experience was exactly the same. If you wanted a recommendation on something, you would have to specifically find a website that rated things, like a food or movie critic. And very little, if any, of your personal data was saved in some dossier on you to be sold. Everyone used pseudonyms online, things like "Xx1337_RockerxX".
      And typically, when you talked with someone online, there wasn't a 50% chance they were completely insane and believed their wild fantasies were real. People were kinda normal.
