I was online at 11 or so, but back then we pretty much just had AOL teen chat and rudimentary web sites.
I was online when I was 11 also, back in 94. No google. No yahoo. No youtube. Just non-stop unregulated pornography as far as thee eye could see. Then yahoo showed up and had yahoo chat WITH NO BOTS. They even had a Webcam feature on dialup. I was 14 by then and I remember going into a Webcam room with a woman in Australia in her 40s and she made me watch her use a huge black dildo. The original rickroll was goatse, or this website that infinitely loaded popup windows until it crashed your pc.
Truly a golden age.
Ooo yah my young ass found AOHELL TOOLZ and would scroll the chat or send logoff bombs to peeps.
Golden age indeed.
At the time I had no pc in my house, I could only use it at my grandparents house. They got AOL, and like a week after getting it he checked his email and it was a porn spam with a big image of 2 lesbians using a double sided dildo and he called that day and canceled AOL and he switched to a smaller local isp(back when those existed). I still cackle at that, with how ubiquitous emails like that are.
Hahaha that’s excellent. When I hit like 13, I was fed up with AOL’s walled garden (funny, because now I love my iPhone, but at least I get the whole internet) so I installed something like freeinternet.com or whatever and the Opera browser came out, so I used that. My mind was blown when suddenly I didn’t have parental restrictions. The free internet was a crunchy place back then!
Then, as a later teen, I discovered suuuper early TOR. THAT was a wild place. I stumbled upon things I did NOT want to see.
I vividly remember as a young teen watching a completely free Webcam feed from Amsterdam of unpaid amateur people who liked to be watched have sex(on dialup) with a little watching counter in the corner. It was literally front page, didn't even have to goto a page and click a hotlink. Or how Whitehouse.com was a porn site and kids would regularly go there by accident in the school computer lab doing projects.
I never used TOR until like 2004 and by then I was in my 20s. In 2007 I came this close to buying $40 in bitcoin to use on silk road when they were less than a penny. I could be a millionaire right now if my ex hadn't talked me out of it.
My friend went through thousands of USD in BTC in the 2010s buying various drugs. He sold the rest when it hit a couple hundred dollars. I had some BTC in like 2010… but it’s gone now forever. It’s frustrating to think how much money we could have now, but you and I both would have sold before it skyrocketed to 100k!
