You're speaking of a time when the Internet itself wasn't really thriving - it was barely a curiosity that didn't exist in the lives of the vast majority of people in the world in any way at all.

With all of their downsides, it's only huge social networks that actually brought the vast majority of people to the internet at all.

It was thriving for me, and I was barely a teenager at the time.
