    I think they’re talking about early 2000s internet but, yeah, i personally remember a pair of radio djs in my area who used to think it was funny to tell callers asking how to find general stuff on the internet ( jobs, dates or whatever) to go to qoute “wwwdot youngasianboysdotcom” and people would apparently just do it. That’s how naive people were. That’s how easy that shit was to find. Although, i heard from somewhere that a load of those sites were honeypots. I do wonder if theres any sort of possibility that we could have algorithmless internet without that shit. I’m not talking about on a few tiny websites but, making it standard or make turning it off an option.
