The accountless internet is fading before our eyes. Its much easier to target advertisments to users when an account is linked to their activity.

It feels like surfing the web now on sites i use to visit function at all or limit the experience of users without an account. Twitter needs an account, facebook needs an account, reddit is barley functional without an account, youtube is barley functional without an account (“sign in to confirm your not a bot” prompt popping up anytime i use it. Especially annoying in embedded videos on websites). This is going to keep happening to profit driven companies running the internet. Another reason to switch to fedi.

Dont even get me started on how unusable the web is without javascript or the pushback from using a non chromium browser. When will it end?
