Old websites & defunct services

What are some websites you miss or used to be good? Old services are fine too.
I remember having a personal site (remember when people made those?) back in '06 with geocities. That site is the reason I had my first time with some emo chick I talked to on AIM.

Manually curated independent news/lifestyle/design/shilling sites used to be actually good, these days the ones that are still alive just blindly repost major industry press releases and/or youtube start page content.

For me it was “accidentally” downloading porn via limewire

This. The last time I genuinely went to one was back in 2009 and when I tried to go to one as recent as 2020 it was fucking atrocious.

I miss news sites having unique variations of this web page style.
Now they all literally look like copy-and-pastes of one another. This can apply to most websites and blogs today actually.
I miss when building a website meant giving it some personality. "Oh cool, somebody made this?!" instead of some minimalist white background template shit out of squarespace.

same user here, webdesignmuseum.org is great for browsing this sort of content

I never realized how pleasant things used to look.
