But why were we down on Geocities? Or people hand-coding? I regret this exchange in 2023

Me: I know you don’t like, look at my twitter or whatever, but did you see this
Adam: holy shit that is geocities as fuck. I think that’s indicative of something. it’s not that geocities cites are terrible by nature, it’s that people can’t design for shit. and since geocities had no templates, like tumblr does, it was just abundant
Me: Yes. When people don’t use templates, tragedy strikes.
