Yeah, I'd say "old web" is early '90s up through about mid-2000s or so. Geocities, Tripod, Angelfire, lots of standalone web forums, the early blogosphere, no social media, etc.

Pre-social media is probably the watermark. That’s what sucked all the content out of the web and into walled-garden platforms.
