I would argue that yes, it would. This kind of content is a genuine form of self-expression. There is something actually all that vital about the content/culture produced at that time and that is that it is a true reflection of society when not forced to suck up to corporations.
I very much agree, the kind of content we had before the internet was overrun by corps was just regular people putting things online because they wanted to express themselves, or share some idea they had. This is the most genuine type of human expression, the basic urge to connect with others for no other reason than to just communicate. People weren’t trying to gain followers, monetize their content, or become influencers. I think that type of internet is far more compatible with socialist principles.
