Things that sucked about the "old internet"?

I've been getting a lot of videos talking about how the "old internet" was so amazing as if it was a utopia that was ruined when the Fire Nation attacked, and I'm sitting here thinking "Was it though?", I've heard so many stories about how many toxic terminally online assholes there were back in the day, so many stories of terminally online weirdos that keep bothering everyone, stories about how the security on the internet sucked backed then so you were in great danger of being doxed or hacked, and a few stories of people being gaslight into joining a cult, also being LGBT back then must've sucked. So people who were there and remember the experience what sucked about the old internet?
