The profit-motive of capitalism (monetization and surveillance capitalism) are what’s destroyed the web. It went from an “information superhighway” lead by techies, scientists, and individuals sharing knowledge to a corporate lead value extraction machine.

Obviously servers cost money, and there are many valuable services, but the infinite growth model guarantees enshittification and paying customers getting assimilated by the borg eventually (cable and now streaming ads, despite profitability).
