One of the beautiful parts of pre-platform internet was the thrill of the hunt, and payoff, of finding deep-buried files, obscure esoteric texts, and just generally weird Easter eggs everywhere
Wandering into some super niche forum, and digging into some sub-niche of that, and stumbling into a years-long bitter flame war between two insane brilliant pseudonymous subject matter experts
One time when I was like thirteen I downloaded a bootleg remix of a Biggie Smalls track on Kazaa, lost it, and was NEVER able to find it again
I miss that internet
