what was the cutoff specifically to you? for me it was Facebook being available to the public that kicked off the corporatization of the internet
does 1994 happen to coincide with the invention of the pop-up or something?
@Banana
I was being semi-sarcastic. 93 / 94 was when the first "web browsers" came into existence. Before that, we all used ftp, gopher and irc. Those were the days!
To be more serious, I think the web took a downspin when (as you say) Facebook and its ilk took over and standardized communication and tangentially pushed out smaller "individual" web sites.
Thus the smolweb revolution happening right now!
