Remember when the internet felt like a giant treasure hunt instead of just… cycling through the same five apps? Yeah, me too. That’s why I started COI (Corners of Internet)—a place where I dig up weird, fun, and happy corners of the web so you don’t have to.

No algorithms. No doomscrolling. Just pure internet exploration.

If it’s cool, underrated, or a little unhinged, it goes on COI.

Check it out: www.cornersofinternet.com

Also, if you’ve got a favorite weird site, drop it below! I’m always looking for new rabbit holes to fall into.

    Maybe it’s a generational thing (I’m a 50+), I don’t know, but when I see a ‘Buy me (something)’ or a ‘tip me’ first thing first on the home page even before I can get any idea of what I will find on the website I’m not likely to explore further. I thought you might want to know about that, even I may be in the minority.

    Just in case:

    • Nope, I’m not cheap. I just want to know who and why I’m supposed to be paying a coffee to (or a pizza) before I decide I want to do it, or not to do it.
    • I’m always very happy to see people trying to refocus attention toward a less corporate-owned Internet.
    • I hope it was clear it’s nothing personal, just my first reaction on visiting your page. I’ll explore it further ;)

      I totally get it, yet I contemplated that decision a lot. This is a self funded indie project, could use a lotta funding.

      But I agree, I will be removing that soon, maybe tug it into the footer or someplace. Not like it is helping me get coffee anyways :D

      Thanks for the feedback.

        Wait. Why could you use a lot of funding? I run websites, I don’t do adds I don’t charge and I don’t ask for money.

        That is part of what made the old internet fun.

        What is the money for?
