I don't think people remember the amount of crazy websites that were out there spouting absolute nonsense. Websites had very little credibility.

Yes but if you googled a product you could get to user written reviews instead of the manufacturer website claiming its the best shit ever made and ai written „reviews” citing the history of the brand.

I honestly hate what internet has become
