Yep, those things were so rarely used ... sure. You are forgetting that 99% of people knew nothing about computers when this stuff came out, but people made themselves learn. It's like comparing Reddit and Twitter to a federated alternative.

Also, something like geocities could easily make a comeback if the damn corporations would stop throwing dozens of pop-ups, banners, and sidescrolls on everything.

And 99% of people today STILL don't know anything about computers. Go ask those same people simply "what is a file" they won't know. Lmao. Geocities could come back if corporations stop advertising. Do you even hear yourself.
