Mostly because there's more benefit to be gained in making the web usable by non-experts than in preserving the current status quo.
There's a reason the Wild West didn't stay wild.
- Piskvorrr 11y agoThis. More specifically, the Wild West got wild for a few years - during a massive population influx - while the entire system was unstable (which also means interesting, in most senses of the word). The metaphor leaks, but is close enough.
- sergiotapia 11y agoI agree, but it still sucks that it seems you're being sold something at every turn. Websites are no longer there, just to be there. It's always about the upsell or agenda.
- cableshaft 11y agoThat's one reason why I'm a little annoyed personal websites went mostly the way of the Dodo and you can only expect friends to check things out if you give them direct links to some trusted site from a site they use all the time, like a link to a Youtube video from Facebook, or your Medium or Tumblr entry from Twitter. I still like designing personal websites, but it seems like a waste of time now.
