I was an average-joe high school student back then.

People hated flash. Even non techies.

What’s “back then” to you? Flash grew up in the time of dial up when you could still get AOL install discs with 100 free hours in your typical grocery store PC magazine. I don’t recall people hating Flash a lot until later when it wasn’t a technical necessity anymore.

Billions of people enjoyed using Flash for games, video, music, and animated entertainment.
