THE MISSION

You weren't supposed to choose what came next.

That was the point.

MTV played what was on—you discovered bands you'd never search for. Saturday morning cartoons were appointment television—millions of kids watched the same thing at the same time. Even commercial breaks were collective moments, not targeted psychological warfare.

Randomness created culture. Shared schedules created community. Limitations created discovery.

Then platforms optimized it all away. Infinite choice became infinite isolation. Personalization became prison. Algorithms replaced discovery with prediction, turning shared experiences into personalized feeds that no one else sees.

We're preserving what existed before the algorithm.

Over 50,000 music videos. Thousands of hours of animation. Decades of broadcast history—archived, cataloged, and streaming 24/7. This is digital preservation at scale, disguised as entertainment. We're building institutional memory for the last generation that grew up with truly shared media.

The approach is deliberate: No apps. No logins. No engagement optimization. Just web pages that load.

You press play. You get what's on. You discover something unexpected.

Simple infrastructure for cultural access. Built to last. Zero tracking. Zero ads. Zero algorithm.

REWIND ME NETWORK — We're done being optimized.

THE IMPACT

This is a phenomenal project, and reminds me of the Internet circa the early 2000s. It's a url that brings about a sense of surprise, discovery, and delight. Thank you for making a bunch of strangers, sitting in different rooms, feel connected to one another.

Thank you for creating this. As a Gen X guy, I'm craving some non AI content that reflects the golden age of MTV videos.

My parents wouldn't allow me to have MTV in the house when it first came out, but I watched it wherever else I possibly could. Now, 40 years later, I don't have to sneak around anymore. Thank you!
