The internet is a wild place, but there was a time it seemed tamed, Google fixed search and got rid of mail spam with Gmail, FB and Twitter got the feed right, ads became text-only with Adwords instead of animated gifs, ExpertsExchange, SO and various interesting personal websites and blogs had answers and were fun to read.

But just like with antibiotics, bugs were trained on it and they got stronger finding the exploit until spam, scam and greed destroyed it once again. Sigh!
