  Marc Andreessen on the exact moment the Internet changed forever: "There are two Internets," Marc explains. "There's the Internet that existed before 1993 and the Internet that existed after 1993." Before 1993, the Internet was funded by the National Science Foundation as an academic and research network. Commercial activity was strictly prohibited under what was called the acceptable use policy. The result was something the people who lived through it still describe in utopian terms. @pmarca describes it like this: "People who were on the Internet before 1993 often describe it in utopian terms because it literally was like you take the whatever million smartest people in the world and you put them on a network together with like no commercial activity, no advertising, no nothing, just the million smartest people in the world. And you just like let them talk to each other. And it's just like amazing." He singles out Usenet, the old messaging system, as the centerpiece of that world: "The discussions on Usenet were just like absolutely spectacular… It was like the most pure, clean intellectual, like vibrant space sense, like, I don't know, Athens in 500 BC. It was just like this amazing phenomenon." Then AOL connected. In September 1993, AOL plugged its million or two million subscribers. Normal people into the Internet for the first time. That moment got a name: eternal September. It was the day the Internet stopped being an ivory tower and became a mainstream consumer thing. The "eternal" part is its own joke. Marc explains: "Concept of eternal September literally was, it was like when every new wave of college graduates graduated and got their first job and then went online. So September is when the new crop of Internet users showed up… So the September effect didn't just happen once. It like happened over and over and over and over and over again. And every cycle of Internet user would basically be like, oh my God, this is great. But like, it's all going to get ruined in September." The Internet we live in today is the result of roughly 30 of those Septembers stacked on top of each other. Marc is careful to say he's pro that shift. He was on the side of opening it up, allowing commerce, allowing advertising, connecting everyone. But he doesn't pretend the trade-off wasn't real. You can't take a network of the smartest million people on earth, connect it to everyone, and expect the texture of the conversation to survive. The lesson sits underneath the story. Every great network has a pre-commercial phase that the early users remember as paradise, and a post-commercial phase that actually changes the world. Both are real. You don't get the second without giving up the first.

  @nikitabier perhaps I'm just being a nostalgic boomer dinosaur, but back when it was uunet and BBS's like BIX or AOL, and nobody got paid, you just said what you said and the various communities policed their own, tight or loose. The whole alt. tree was a bit surreal, but by and large it was real discussion, sharing of info, etc. without very many of these constant influencer flame wars for clix and a dozen reposts of something only a little further down in my feed. Now we add a whole attack vector on sanity with the short form videos Elon has said rot your brain. I don't need to bother grokadoodle and ask if there's a pattern.

  @LuchaConMacho i watched WWE since 1997, take this fake "passionate" crap and go back to MYSPACE or AOL, if you are a wrestling podcaster then you talk about everything wrestling, not sitting on social media and talking about 2 wrestlers that make you look relevant @LuchaConMacho

  In 1999 I had more spending power due to not having a cell phone, streaming service, or internet, except for my 750 free hours of AOL. I "rented" movies from the library. I also read a lot more back then.
