This is another reason why we have got to stop centralizing everything on the web. When you reply on these platforms, you have lost all autonomy over your brand, data and content. And they get to decide what you see and do. We need to go back to everybody hosting (self-hosting or paid hosting) their own data, content and building out their own communities again. I also miss going to more than 3 websites a day.

It’s easier than ever to make your own website. You could vibe code one up super fast and throw up some images or videos.
Getting people to see the stuff you make is the major hurdle. These platforms have that benefit because everyone is already there.
Not to mention if you were able to get traffic to your site it probably won’t scale well lol.

You’re correct on the being seen part, but maybe this would involve retraining people to start using a different search engine that works. But I know most of this is will never see the light of day, but maybe one day we can hope for a better future for the internet.
I do fear, with AI now replacing search by many people, what will the internet look like in the next 5 years. Scary to think what that will look like.
