Remember, when people made content just for the fun of it
Fuck, remember webcomics?
Achewood, Diesel Sweeties, Cat and Girl, Penny Arcade, Cyanide & Happiness, Joe and Monkey, Questionable Content, Dresden Codak (always updated way too infrequently), Dinosaur Comics, Gone With the Blastwave, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, The Perry Bible Fellowship, When I Grow Up/WIGU/Overcompensating, Married to the Sea, hell, even CTRL+ALT+DEL left us with Loss. I could go on, there's definitely more.
...but I don't like to talk about what happened with SinFest.
A lot of these sites had advertising, but I don't remember any of it being so off-putting that I felt the need for an adblocker. Honestly, at this point, I don't even recall if adblockers were a thing yet in 2000-2005.
So much content in those early aughts. I'm still waiting on a Complete Achewood. Damn you, Chris Onstad!
I was always a little disappointed I never was able to get a "I'm the guy who sucks/plus I got depres-sion" shirts.

Hell, I'm about to go and edit my original comment and make links to any that are still around. Looks like a lot of them are!
