It’s amazing to think about that timeframe and how much optimism around the internet there was.

We truly thought we’d get a voice and things would change.

Now I’m depressed.

The optimism was always naive - and those of us who had been around in the usenet/bbs days knew better. And as linked elsewhere in the comments here, John C Dvorak was pretty spot on in his assessment (at the time).
