      I do remember a small point in time where you could set your browser to not open videos. Now thanks to javascript, every fucking page has about 10 advertisement videos going on them. What the web has turned into is absolute shit because of advertising.

      I keep seeing this sentiment. Am I the only person who remembers pop up ads? Was that a fever dream? I remember those being all over the place in the late 90s and early aughts. All with geocities style colors.
