it was older than YT, TIL
The website was homestarrunner.com and before YouTube, we used to just manually check the website. It was part of my day to check and see if anything new was on the site Also notable was that they never advertised. Their entire operation was done by word-of-mouth, in a time where there were no Facebook or reddit or YouTube or anything. The internet was a lot more wild then.
Homestarrunner ("It's dot com!"), Weebl and Bob, nuklearpower, Joe Cartoon, Bob and George... it was a different world.
I still sing random Weebl and Bob ditties to this day.
If I look 10 feet to my left I can see my Insanity Prawn Boy plushie.
