    Bit of a different one this time, but I hope you guys like it! I've got a laundry list of peculiar Internet oddities just like this that I've put off for a while, however if you guys liked this style, I'd love to bring them outta the vault. Let me know what you think! I'm trying to get a video out every month this year to make up for the slowdown we had last year, so any feedback helps. Love ya'll. See you next month.

    Correct me if i'm wrong but from a casual's point of view like me who doesn't really dive deep into rabbit hole mysteries like this in the internet, this did not look like your average "just google it" type of question. Putting up all the pieces together to find the real answer should've required some major obsessive detective work, or else this shit really wouldn't have stayed as a mystery for literal years as was said in the video.

    Yeah I was gonna say. This story is kind of neat, but it's about 0% scary or spooky or ominous or unsettling. Like, Disney bought ABC which bought a domain to run a gameshow from a company that got it back from some internet anarchists in the 90s. (Literally everyone in the 90s was internet anarchists. I ran like 3 anti establishment websites in the 90s. The internet was subversive and counter culture back then. Given, none of mine were pro p3d0f!l!a but still, it was the dawn of edgelords.) I dunno. at the end I was like DAMN BRO those are some LONG DRAMATIC PAUSES in service of not very much. And I fucking LOVE Nexpo.

    fun fact: in 1984 the game "Paranoia" by studio West End Games was released. It was a rpg game where you and your friends would play as citizens serving the almight tyrant "Computer". It was a parody of the book "1984" by George Orwell. One of the quotes from the game is "The Computer is your friend", which is the same as shown in 4:08. I think Kevin was inspired by this game when making the website. Its also interesting coincidence that the game company went bancrupt in 1998, which is the same year when website got shut down.

    It feels like Nexpo is becoming quantity over quality, Barely sociable and Lemmino are the perfect example of the opposite. They focus on actual interesting mysteries without over dramatizing them or dragging them out while also remaining skeptical and pointing out things that could be false or fake. Nexpo just puts ominous music under things that are clearly fake ARGS or unfounded and wild conspiracies in order to appeal to Gen-z tiktok users who'll believe anything as long as nexpo puts ominous music in the background. Like whats the point of covering ARGS? they are art projects made by bored art students and couldn't be anything further from creepy, just cringeworthy attempts at going viral which youtube channels will milk to get easy views.

I was about to reply that it was kind of flippant of him to just gloss over the part where he suggested that "nothing happened", the reason nothing happened was because of thousands of people like me who were employed during the late 90s writing fixes for all of the systems that would have failed. I'm just going to assume Mr Nexpo is too young to remember those times so he is simply unaware of our efforts that prevented what would have been some serious issues otherwise. At 49 now I remember this time well and actually owe my entire career path to it as it was my entry into the world of programming.

There was a massive effort of tons of people working non-stop to make sure that what everyone said was going to happen (and it was going to happen) didn't happen. Sure it wouldn't have been the end of the world, but it would have caused insane damage. And I guess everybody who put in all that work did that work perfectly, to the extent that nobody even believes that it was a serious concern anymore.

The fact a company bought a domain is also hardly odd. The percentage of cases where the party who is buying a domain has no idea of who the previous owner was or what their website was like, must be over 50%, there's no doubt in my mind.

    *in response to your closing lines* The reason that old internet has such a charm is because it was a time when we believed in possibilites and where people where allowed to be themselves before the algorithms began optimizing for addiction. There was a beauty and hope that has now transformed into attention content addiction. Also, nostalgia Edit: We used to make content for the art and fun of it. Now its all about growing a business and brand. But its not people's fault either because ifyou dont pander to the algorithms, your content will be invisible. For those who arn't sure about the difference between addictive and fun, mobile games are optimized for addiction. You feel the need to play but not the desire. There is no deep fulfillment or satisfaction. On the other end, you know that something is fun when you want to do it without any pressure

    The whole fact-finding process in this video really goes to show how a lot of people are really just hungry to make a conspiracy or a mystery out of _anything,_ even when the truth is staring you in the face. The first thing I would have done was look for other media properties called "Paranoia" once discovering that the movie had no affiliation with Disney whatsoever (and how the hell were people accepting that as an answer???). There have been a few shows called Paranoid or similar names but the only ones I see specifically called Paranoia are the game show and the Sony movie. So it really just follows logically, and then the facts of the whole Fox/Disney merger around that same time just put a nice lid on the whole thing. There's no mystery and there never really was. It was just capitalism. Also, for what it's worth, Disney does not own the names "Aladdin" or "Snow White". Both of those characters have existed since long before Walt Disney was even born; Aladdin was written in the same era as Ali-Baba and Snow White was an old Grimm tale from the 1800s. Disney owns rights to _their films and the associated depictions of these characters,_ but they thankfully cannot claim sole ownership of those names. I can also guarantee that's the case because if it wasn't, DIsney would have absolutely taken the people who own those URLs to court and claimed them for themselves - this is Disney we're talking about, after all. And knowing Disney would be the ones buying them, you bet your ass whoever bought those sites first is going to take them for everything they've got if they want to buy them.

That wasn't enough for them in the end though, that's why they ended up buying 20th Century Fox, they couldn't just have all web based Simpsons' domains, they needed to own The Simpsons themselves.
