Oh, man, I remember NetZero. Hadn’t thought about them in ages. There was another similar company called Juno, iirc. I almost miss the days of free dialup services—where I explicitly chose to see ads in exchange for a free service, and the company was upfront that this was the exchange being performed.

I used both of those services and it is really amazing that the quality of ads from Google and Facebook 16+ years later is pretty much the same as NetZero/juno
