The internet used to feel like a treasure hunt. Let’s bring that back. (www.cornersofinternet.com)

Remember when the internet felt like a giant treasure hunt instead of just… cycling through the same five apps? Yeah, me too. That’s why I started COI (Corners of Internet)—a place where I dig up weird, fun, and happy corners of the web so you don’t have to.

No algorithms. No doomscrolling. Just pure internet exploration.

If it’s cool, underrated, or a little unhinged, it goes on COI.

Check it out: www.cornersofinternet.com

Also, if you’ve got a favorite weird site, drop it below! I’m always looking for new rabbit holes to fall into.

Maybe it's a generational thing (I'm a 50+), I don't know, but when I see a 'Buy me (something)' or a 'tip me' first thing first on the home page even before I can get any idea of what I will find on the website I'm not likely to explore further. I thought you might want to know about that, even I may be in the minority.

Just in case:

Nope, I'm not cheap. I just want to know who and why I'm supposed to be paying a coffee to (or a pizza) before I decide I want to do it, or not to do it.
I'm always very happy to see people trying to refocus attention toward a less corporate-owned Internet.
I hope it was clear it's nothing personal, just my first reaction on visiting your page. I'll explore it further ;)

I totally get it, yet I contemplated that decision a lot. This is a self funded indie project, could use a lotta funding.

But I agree, I will be removing that soon, maybe tug it into the footer or someplace. Not like it is helping me get coffee anyways :D

Thanks for the feedback.

Maybe a solution would be to make the donation info a toast that pops up after a time or after a certain amount of scrolling has happened.

So people like op are not put of from the start but you also make it easy for people who want to donate.

Yeah, maybe.
