  • Let's browse the Internet of the 90's and early 2000's! In this ASMR video, I browse a collection of well-preserved websites from the early years of the Internet while giving soft-spoken commentary to help you relax and sleep. We'll take a look at lots of classic websites and the primitive webpages of some of today's biggest companies and services. I hope you'll enjoy it!
    This video was created using Protoweb, a free service that's working to recreate the experience of the early Internet as thoroughly as possible. If you want to check it out yourself, you can find more info on the Protoweb site: protoweb.org/

      yep bro, these renderings have some strange feeling of nostalgia that I have never experienced. supposedly they look smooth and shiny, but at the same time cardboard and creepy. although these are probably the reasons why I love these models)

    This is by far one of the best ASMR videos out there. Relaxing and in some weird way also comforting. Maybe it's because of all the memories these old sites bring to mind. Anyways, thanks a bunch and keep up the good work!

    I'll never forget being a little kid and watching a teacher on the school library computer dialing into the internet. What's odd, I think I remember browsing dozens upon dozens of sites back in the early 2000s, but now probably only visiting a core of about 7 or so on a daily basis. Everything got smooshed together.

      Web2 as become so outdated thats why its dying so web 3 will took over .
      Also
      Internet 2000s was pure gold 2015 onwards is when internet became standardized so it could centralized by social medias and corporate greed creating the dark age of conformity and ruin lives which lead to the shithole corporate hell that the internet is nowdays. 😂
      I mean is it right to be born in 2008 mainly having 2010s nostalgia and i found the 2000s MUCH more a appealing ? .
      Hope gods glory will make the internet decentralized again , and social medias returning to be primitive not distractfull , destruction of human decency ( society ) and more companys to cool down their evil greed , Y2k fruitiger aero style era to comeback evolved to look less dated .

    Omg the sailor moon ring of power.. that was what I went to often. They had coloring pages. And midi file songs and little gifs of the scouts transforming and fighting. I remember hopping from one geocities web page to another. Remember guestbooks? And the doll makers.. and chatrooms.. also there was a group board where you could draw with others at the same time. And see what art they did.. some were so talented.. and you could draw with them real time.

    I was to young to feel nostalgic. My first interaction with a pc was in 2008. So it was change a bit. The internet i mean. Although there is a bit of nostalgia and curiosity. I started on the internet with the creepypasta listening. And i always was curious and loved when people described old sites and links and formats. Always made me curios how the internet used to be. As for nostalgic well it reminds me of those old creepypastas. I do love your voice. My favorite trigger,talking, whispering etc. anything related to voice asmr.

    Hey, it's Mike who was a big fan of "The Witness" video. This one came up in my recommendations todaym, and when I heard the voice I knew it was you but thought the channel name was different. I looked back through your recent videos and found the name-change one. Mattastic is a good name, because you are fantastic. Although etomologically I suppose Mattastic would mean "very Matt" or "in a Matt way", but those are true too. At least, I assume your name is really Matt. Anyway, what I need nowadays is some soft-spoken dialog to override anxiety rumination, and ambient sounds and story readings don't quite do it anymore, and there aren't enough documentaries, so I think your recent videos may be just the ticket. Thanks for making them... Voice acting also sounds interesting. I also listen to Sounds Curious, who is a voice actress, and did ASMR documentaries for a while. Sadly she;'s not doing them anymore, but I still keep listening to the old ones again. It sound like an interesting field with many different opportunities, so you may find something interesting. You could also do audiobooks, like Steve West (my favorite British narrator).
