No one in the 90s could imagine the internet without AOL or Yahoo either, and yet…

Or the great Myspace collapse of 2008. Digg before that. Tumbler most recently.

Big sites go boom fairly often.

Now, watching Google go Boom, that’s gonna be like modules breaking loose of the ISS and rendering the atmosphere. Drawn out over months, as one wing goes, government breaks up another wing, class action lawsuits bankrupt another wing.

Alphabets circling the drawn. And good. Fuck em. Fuck Apple, Fuck Meta, Fuck Amazon, Fuck Reddit.

Just a couple more years now and imma nominate Craig from Craigslist for all the years nobel prizes for officially winning the internet.

Specific niche forums, Craigslist and Wikipedia are the last bits of honestness and fun online. And ymmv with Craigslist people being honest.
