Why is this on here? Sorry, I'm missing the context.

Just thought it was interesting—from a design and content perspective—as the site hasn't changed much since 1999 and it still feels like “ye ol' web”.

But how will we ever monetize this!? /s

Aside from the Cowboy Bebop nostalgia hit, this site is a great example of how clear, creative, and fun sites were in the late 1990s. While I struggle to identify the many reasons why I think sites looked better back then, I think being simple and content focused are two of them.

Lack of ads, lack of SEO.

Whenever Bebop comes up it hits right in the feels.

The future sure panned out different than how I imagined it would be when I was a kid staying up late watching this timeless classic.

At the time I just thought it was cool and conceptual, never realizing how much the vibes were on point.

I get it now. See You Space Cowboy.

I don't feel like this site is simple, it's noisy and crowded. It doesn't aid me in finding what's provided to me. Although it looks very cool I'm quite glad we simplified designs and put UX on top of the priority list vs showing off what we can do.

I appreciated the intent right away. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, a fine specimen.
