Not really, It's better then today for sure but I'd say Y2K had better ascetics and more freedom.

I've never played minecraft IDK why.
>>played that all the time
I'm not a vidya zombie.
>>reddit hadn't completely absorbed and replaced all hobbyist forums
This is true.
>>most tech and vidya related discussions were relegated to hobbyist forums instead of reddit and their shitty updoot system
Yes, but discussion back in the day were still retarded, so it's like saying drinking road pond water is better then drinking diarrhea.
>>hobbyist forums were better than reddit simply due to the fact that you saw actual discussions and debates instead of annoying one-liners and unpopular opinions being buried as you see on reddit
This is true.
>>powermods were annoying back then but reddit powermods are even worse
This is true.
>>tons of gems on youtube instead of the absolute slop we see nowadays since any retard has a smartphone and internet access
More like things were amateur's and "real" rather then AI slop and post-Mr-Beast search engine gaming.
>>nobody used xitter
Women and boring fuckers used it, it was just a place people would post "welp I'm about to cut the grass"
