If Gmail proved anything, it was that people would, for the most part, accept any terms of service. Or at least not care enough to read the fine-print closely.
I’ll blame the early internet. So often stuff was for free, either due to the dot com bubble or just because someone wanted to create something.
More often than not the second one.
I mean, there were pages full of flash video games and animations with that sole purpose, no ulterior intentions.
When google came around, it too seemed amother neat free thing.
And they also had a “don’t be evil” slogan that existed until the founders stepped away. Google pretty immediately went to build the great firewall of China so the free ride was over a long time ago.
Orisinal: Morning Sunshine was a website featuring 62 Adobe Flash games (as of January 2018). The website was created in 2000 by Ferry Halim who resides in Clovis, California. It won the World Summit Award in 2003 in the e-entertainment category and the Webby Award in the games category in 2003. In 2004, the site Jay Is Games commended Orisinal: Morning Sunshine for Outstanding Achievement in Artistic Expression in its Best of 2004 special awards. As of November 2010, Ferry Halim has begun selling a selection of his games on the Apple App Store in remade versions for the iPhone.
As of March 2024, the games are playable, as Ruffle has been set up on the website. Previously, they were inaccessible due to the discontinuation of Flash Player by Adobe.
Webbys are such pay to play trash now. I wonder what it was like at that time. Now they just spam me with mailers for some reason trying to get me to spend hundreds of dollars submitting podcasts I don’t even produce anymore and that haven’t had an episode in years. Pretty sure it’s just one of those “get all your friends and listeners to vote for you” worthless systems too.

The internet wasnt built after 2005; by 2005 it was already dying.
