Did flat fee unlimited access ruin the net?

The internet was never better than in 1995 when AOL was 3 bucks an hour. Upper-middle class whites and asians used it almost exclusively.

Now it's overrun by shit and niggers. That monthly fee kept the riffraff out and made people use their online time wisely instead of wasting it.

Now every chat room is full of people who don't talk, staying logged in with bots. Every forum is full of spammers making 100 posts a day.

That was interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'm one of those "late bloomers" so I never really got a chance to go on real BBSs and experience USENET during its heyday, I would have been too young to even know what to do. But nevertheless, I am interested in the historical aspect of the 'net. I browse textfiles.com sometimes and all those old files from the BBSs are like a whole 'nother world.
