"About sixty years ago, there were only about seven different web sites, and none of them had any user interaction or even navigation. They just autoplayed the same scheduled streamed video to everyone who looked at them, all the time, like a YouTube autoplay you can't turn off. If you wanted to talk to the YTer, you'd have to do a realtime voice chat, or send them a DM on a piece of paper, and they usually wouldn't even answer. There were also podcasts - more of them than websites - and these were mostly also only sent once and couldn't be listened to again. If you tried to voicechat the podcasts, they would often respond, and might even talk to you live on the podcast. Since there were so few podcasts you'd probably listen to the same ones as your friends, so there was a chance they'd even hear you talking on the podcast."
