The pre-algorithm internet and social media era of about 2000-2014.

I remember when Instagram was just pictures of my friends cats, hikes, and thrift finds. It was great and fun.

    When Facebook status windows automatically had an “is” following your name. So posts would start with “Mary is” and you’d fill in what you’re doing or how you’re feeling.

    When Twitter used SMS and you could use it just to follow your favorite band, so whenever they posted it felt like you got a text from them. That was pretty cool.
