Ah, yeah. The good old days, eh? The crummy gifs, the terrible sound loops, the over-the-top text... it all just hits different. The lower the quality, the higher the nostalgia, you know? It's the kind of stuff that just makes you feel like a kid again.
It's about that raw, unfiltered internet, before everything had to be so slick and high-res. It had a bit of grit to it, a bit of character. Definitely not the same as it is now. So yeah, the low quality is half the charm, bud.
