Comment on The Internet is Worse Than Ever – Now What?

Nah it’s about as bad as it’s been for the past 2 decades, when the Internet became commercial.
In the 90’s Internet was driven by enthusiasts, who actually cared about the subject of what they did.
Today the noise from commercial interests dominate almost completely.
I’d sacrifice Google and YouTube in a heart beat, and go back to Alta vista even web crawler as my main search engine, if it meant we could get the quality internet experience we had in the 90’s.

Fuck yes, good relevant sites to the subject of your interest, created b y people who actually know about it, because they are genuinely interested.

What I miss the most about the 90’s web is websites being reduced to the bare minimum possible. Delivery of content first then everything else. The only thing that got an exception: GIF images.

But… but there were no ads! How did people know what to buy?

Oh, there were ads. Small to medium sized banners you easily missed. The only adblock you needed was disabled pop-ups.
