I miss the Web of Documents, TBH. I miss the WWW that belonged mainly to hackers and weirdos, the one that existed before corporations started looking for ways to monetize attention. The modern web feels more and more like cable TV with more spyware and a veneer of interactivity.
Yeah, same here. That WWW had its heyday around 2000–2005, and then the closed siloes slowly started to eat it up.
Maybe we can bring it back as a gray net that the normies in their silos don't know about and will be content to ignore?
