  • This post but replace google search with the general internet.

    Nearly every place that feels like the old internet is not as popular.

    I used to think that was a bad thing, I'm starting to think maybe I've just been pushing aside the reality that when the internet was good, it wasn't as popular.

    • Not popular- commercial. The early internet had effectively no profit motive. As it aged there was a modicum of balance between use and profit - a good site drives customers. Now there are a preponderance of sites which exist only to scrape pennies off advertisers and have no useful content except that which is required to garner a click from a search engine in hopes you will accidentally create an advertising impression.
