I kind of miss the old internet! It was hard to FIND these personal sites sometimes, yeah, but the transfer to blogging format and the further transfer to ephemeral posting formats (like tumblr or twitter) have made it so it's hard to find this kind of personal essay anymore. When I was researching all this stuff I know the ancient sites like that I found were more useful to read than all the resource tumblrs or whatever other people were linking to. The organization is nonexistent! Social media isn't a good place for aggregating advice! But that's all a lot of people use now.
I'm not even that old and I'm still an internet dinosaur who can't understand facebook, haha.
