Agree to disagree. Personally, if I was advertised a gold watch and then recieved a metal-painted-gold watch, I would be upset, but to each their own.

Yeah, they won because they made things easy imho. Lower barrier to entry === higher user base. I would contest your 'everyone and their uncle had a site' comment, though - for flash you still had to be 'in the know' or curious of how the flash games/animations were made, and then be inquisitve and resourceful enough to get yourself a 'copy' of your preferred flash ide, then figure out how to package/host/etc. Sites like livejournal/tumblr are more akin to what you are describing imo.
Yeah I acknowledge modern web is superior to flash in another comment, but argue the accessability has gone down. Also I was not 'growing up with it,' I was getting paid to write actionscript, then as3, then as3 inside of adobe flex/eclipse.
yeah, but for my personal bookmarks a hallucination is not a big deal, not exactly mission-critical lol
Agreed, the wildest of wests.
Yeah there is a bit of nostalgia for me, admittedly. Modern canvas with a decent lib can produce flash-like/flash-superior content but the tooling is aimed at engineers while flash was aimed at creatives/general public (imho), hence why we got so much trash (accessability) but also why we got so much incredible stuff (again, accessability)
Were these the idiots doing it in front of their kids? good riddance to bad rubbish
