thats nostalgia talking bro
I generally call out people with nostalgia but they're pretty right in this case. Sometime in the late 2010s is when corporates really started going overdrive with the greed and it's also when internet restriction bills started passing with less opposition. More sites are gated behind log-ins, more sites are restricted, more sites are cutting features, more sites care more about ads than their userbase, decade old sites shut down with new sites being a lot less consumer-friendly/healthy.
It used to be that you could search anything you want and get it. Nowadays it's HARDER to find things you want with how many google results are stripped away by companies. No more caches either.
