    We used to read it as kids when we went over our internet quota for the week and it was the only thing that still loaded

      How old were you then? What was your internet quota? It’s so interesting to hear how different age groups or demographics interacted with the same content.

          I remember around the same time we had a 300 MB monthly quota on dialup. It made me very wary of what I did online and how large different kinda of media is.

          Things changed a bit after we got a 4(?)GB monthly quota over 3G a few years later.
