@lowqualityfacts Before Netflix and fast broadband, the only way you could watch movies online was via Terminal. Someone has recreated that experience for posterity. https://ascii.theater/
Most of us used it just for fun cause we were terminal warriors. There were many people who choose to not run a windows system and lived entirely in the terminal... We even had framebuffers that would have made this look like normal video but we were just too nerdy.
As far as I know this was never used out of necessity.
