Before Hive account@riverflows gets here, you've seen this video, yes?

Both of these things might be the closest we get to the old Internet - static, built by people, not written by SEO drones or AI prompts.

Something that has a heart, and a soul, and akward-ness of all of it being different and disconnected, yet, still connected by the sense of human wonder.

The website as a piece of standalone art, or as a love letter to something, as opposed to ... whatever it is we have now as a collective "Internet".

Hive is close. But it isn't quite.
