He's a solid dude, that's obvious in all the interviews and comments I've read and heard from him - and what you described is the *ultimate* good-guy thing to do.
Im lucky I grew up in the 80s and all my stupid idiot stuff has mostly been forgotten. It sucks that stuff i did at 12-15 or so to be forever available. 😊

You’re one of the only “shorts TH-camrs” who makes way better long form content. This is one of my favorite videos I’ve seen just in general. Actually very informative while making me legitimately laugh out loud at parts.
11/10 video! What an absolute banger😂 Growing up, I had no idea what the internet was for. Legit thought the only thing on it was Wikipedia, and I freaking ate that shit up. Absolutely loved reading everything that site has to offer. Didn't discover TH-cam until I was like 12. But seriously, as y'all can tell by my love for Wikipedia, the history of the internet is something I love learning about. And when it comes packaged in a couples laughs and finishes with a joke about losing kids? Hell yeah
10:13 My grandpa used to take a handful of those free free AOL disks whenever he was at the supermarket. He'd take them home, string them up, and hang them in the various fruit trees around the property. All the random spinning and flashing lights kept the birds and squirrels out of those trees, so they wouldn't eat all the fruit - It's the most use anyone I know has gotten from those CD's lmao
Much like the AOL free 30 day trial discs being mailed to every home, when mikes hard lemonade debuted they too mailed sample bottles to homes. To which I swiftly went around and asked all my neighbors for theirs! Free stuff for the win!
As a 90s kid, the internet is awesome! Using it from Windows NT to Windows 11 to access the internet by using Internet Explorer or netscape, which now it is Firefox.
Im an old internet veteran, when i was 14, broadband internet became a common thing. It destroyed my life but i swear to god old internet was something else
Amen, brother. I still remember getting my first home computer. Those windows sounds are so nostalgic, it makes me tingle. I'm turning 37 next month and I tell ya...this entire video was a * w i l d * r i d e *.
I was 11 when we got dial up internet in the mid 90's. I'm not gonna blame the internet for who I am but it does have a significant influence on my personality.
Gosh, I remember so much of the early internet as a 29 yr old. I remember getting banned on Aim or locked out of my account when I was a kid because I was chatting in a chat room. Great stuff.
Another thing about the heavens gate site, if you go to the bottom, you can highlight to reveal black text on a black background, repeating a number of keywords like "alien" "ufo" "extraterrestrial" "end times" over and over. Especially in the early days of the internet, it meant that anyone who looked up any of these terms would be directed to their site first.
Same, like the song of my ancestors it had been so long since I heard the OG Ape Escape music & had to realign my neurosynaptic system for a second and didn't hear a word Tugg said.

I liked the running bit. It reminded me of those videos they made us watch at school to learn about the internet and stuff.
This is peak Tugg content. The editing, the kid subplot, the excellent narration over how terrible the internet used to be. I demand more!
Terrible?? Old internet was ✨ AMAZING ✨
The cold war
I really like the “LoL” thing. One of those observations that makes me feel more content with life for absolutely no reason
synchronicities like that make me think there's a point to all this, even if it's super sarcy along the way haha
I used to say “Lots of Laughs” instead of “Laugh Out Loud”. 🤣
