Riley Walz created IMG_0001, a site that compiles videos marked IMG_XXXX from YouTube, capturing unedited, pure moments from random lives, evoking nostalgia.
Walz states, 'It’s almost like these videos are kind of extinct now... They won’t really be produced this way ever again. It’s like a time machine.'
As social media continues to evolve, users on platforms like Bluesky yearn to recreate the early online experiences that have all but vanished over time.
The internet nostalgia encompasses efforts to salvage data from lost platforms, highlighting a growing desire to remember the simpler, less chaotic virtual past.
