An antonym for a word "Techbro" used in internet discussions.

Instead of inventing new, modern and useless technology, they go back to the past for technology that become useless due to obsolescence.
While wanting internet to become a better place, they lack the desire to have a deeper understanding of issues that internet has, so the best thing they do, is try their hardest to mimic and praise the idea of what old internet was that they made up in their head, usually that idea has nothing in common with how internet really was.

While techbros cluelessly try to move internet technology forward into Web 3.0, Techsiss have a big love for web 1.0, and "vibes" of how internet was in the late 2000s.

Many of them are lib-left, users of Tumblr and Twitter, artists, animators or other people who barely if ever touch code, but alas a thousand of sparkledog-filled neocities websites do exist, so they in fact can code.

As was said above, they have only surface level understanding of internet history, and considering how internet was back then they would probably hate it.
Now if you try to discuss anything about internet, you'll either look like a Techsis or a Techbro, its better to just go and touch grass.

I saw another video where delusional Techsis was yapping about how great old web was, and their understanding of it was nothing more than a bunch of scheenshots of colorfull gif filled personal pages of autistic teenagers.

You talk about internet history and you dont even know what Usesnet is? You are a fucking Techsis STFU and RTFF"

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.
