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.

This is pretty good and cool. Already found some hidden gems I didn't know about. Possible suggestion for another category is for youtube channels. Youtube's algorithm sucks now and there are only about 4 youtube channels I regularly watch. So it'll be cool to have a category to suggest good content creators on youtube .

I did think about that, but the problem with that is I might have to then feature instagram creators (Thank god TikTok is banned jk :P)

I do wanna feature some youtueb videos, idk what should I do.

I would love suggestions.

Maybe content creators in general? I'm just spitballing but ultimately it's up to you.

For suggestions on content creators.

Grant Wisler. Very underrated comedy skit maker. Reminds me of the early days of smosh and those kind of youtube videos but blends the skits with modern storytelling so it can go from a skit into a existenital piece of art and it doesn't feel jarring at all. I feel like he's going to make it big if more people knew about him.

Misohungrie. Cooking channel but cooks from those cookbooks based on fictional IP (One Piece, Ninja turtles, Gremlins even) to see if the food in the cookbooks is actually any good or if it's just a cashgrab. It's a very specific niche but a niche no one else is doing to my knowledge and he does it well.

Another cooking channel, sortedfood. Just a group of british mates having fun cooking food and learning about food. Sometimes they gameify things by having challenges but you always learn something new when watching it.

Ah I do wanna bring a category that says Creators or something like that. Okay then I think it is possible for me to then tag them to a platform like youutbe Or instagram. Could be nice yeah. Also thanks for the suggestions watching Grant Wisler as I type. :D

This seems neat.

It's not just the Internet, though. There are no more gatekeepers or water coolers and everything is fed on demand. Have you noticed that TV and movie events have slowed down to a trickle? Ever found a cool show on a streaming service and found that nobody is talking about it unless you go search for some community of five people who are super into it? Nobody is playing any games and talking about them unless they're finding them through some influencer or they're just the same four big games that have dominated the market for the better part of a decade.

That's not going to revert back with something like this, I'm afraid. We've just lost the structures that got people to share in those collective moments and I'm not sure there's a way of bringing them back. On this side of the apocalypse, anyway, so maybe that'll fix itself.

It's broken without JS. Not so old-school after all.

What is this corporate joke of a ui?
