2 days agoWhile fitting, there are many more things in life besides the internet could be called “capitalism fucked up everything.” Better to call it “capitalism fucked over the net” otherwise people could call Healthcare, climate change, fascism, most wars, pollution, etc. Web3.0 which might be confusing lol
Could you expand on what you mean by modular web technologies? Also when would you say the shift over from interoperable web technologies to one-stop-shop happened?
I’m relatively young and wasn’t really allowed on the internet, but from what I remember (trying to build websites on the old family computer in the basement lol) there were lots of issues with browsers not working with the same CSS properties circa 2016. Then again I had no idea what I was doing at the time so maybe it wasn’t so bad.
YouTube seemed to start going down hill shortly after that, followed swiftly by other apps and sites.
Basically as soon as I got consistent internet access it seemed like the internet was getting worse, but it seemed like lots of interoperability/compatibility issues were resolved over the decline in quality of the content of the net.
Again, I didn’t have much experience with the old net so I want to know your perspective
