The article introduces the concept "Internet Aesthetics" with a strong definition, referencing its origin and how it has evolved over the years. It includes addition information such as its effect on communities and a further look at the term "aesthetics", which is not further mentioned in the article but is relevant and a good segue into the next section. The article contains a healthy balance of both popular and underrepresented aesthetics—offering a well rounded perspective on the topic. The content is mostly up to date, however, it could be improved by eliminating excessive examples and focusing more on relevant ones. The article is relatively neutral; however, it focuses heavily on the aesthetics' history and less of what it actually is and how it is conveyed. There are images, but it would be more visually appealing if given a proper layout and images that accurately illustrate the aesthetic. "Internet Aesthetics" is a start class article, and while it contains important information from reliable sources, it could address other relevant points in a more organized manner.
