I remember Dysfunctional Family Circus where the site owner would take family circus cartoons and you could fill in the captions. I remember Keepers of Lists where you would submit and vote on one-liners on random whimsical topic of the day (eg "Top Muppet Gripes").
Internet up the early 2000s was about finding order in chaos. Lots of energy was bottom-up. Search engines and aggregators would just help you find it; and finding the good content did sometimes feel like uncovering a secret treasure.
How to bring back the chaos?
