Yeah, that’s a pretty decent analogy. It was a wild time, and my fondness is probably tainted by nostalgia, but I’d trade our current internet for it in a second.

I mean, I’m not saying 90s internet didn’t have any of that, but I wouldn’t have described it as “overrun”. Seemed to me, as a child, like most of it was just companies getting an online presence for their existing business to try and be part of wave.
ISPs have always sucked, though.
Fast internet is nice, but what if it wasn’t a corporatized nightmare overrun with money-chasing investor-backed start-ups and giant monocorps trying to monetize and exploit every single inch of it?
Beginning of the end for discord probably.
