It honestly wasn't that great. You're looking through rose coloured glasses.
It had just as many people trying to rip you off/fuck you over except it was some guy in a basement and a geocities website instead of a global megacorporation with their polished UI.
So naturally you'd spend all night trying to solve a small problem that you could just look up now.
It was better because it was new and you had nothing to compare it too. But I guarantee if you went back to early 2000's web you'd tear your hair out.
