Wow, did not expect this shoutout, especially since I had this livestream on as background noise (it was still enjoyable to listen to) but i'll take it lol. Thanks. Love the content.

I'm interested in these years, 2002 to 2004, as the outbreak of the "modern internet." Maybe we could give it names like archaeologists do?

• Email Era (1971)

• Open Era (1993)

• Friendster Era (2002) Flash games! MMORPGs! Zoomers didn't exist!

• Smartphone Era (2011)

• Gamergate Era (2014)

• Censorship Era (2017) Charlottesville, COVID, Hunter Biden laptop, January 6th.

• Musk Era (2022)

• AI Era (2025) Youtube relaxes, Zuckerberg apologizes. Internet CEOs at the inauguration.

AI might start making Youtube videos, TikToks, and Substack articles indistinguishable from my own. This may lead to the dead internet becoming real, or "single player internet."

Rahmbamarama gave the world a story that I dimly recall was titled Joe Biden Really Likes Trains. I still think of it from time to time.

The Trump/Biden edits on tik tok were a lot of fun!
