While I understand both the purpose (cultivate desire, entice, inform)
and the necessity (forward movement, economy, business) of advertising, I'd still like to get about my life without it. Unhindered by it.
The noise to signal ratio of the modern Internet is such that I, as a technical person, someone that finds it preferable to read instead of listen or watch; I still find myself on Youtube 99% of the time. Almost all of my web browsing is now Youtube. AND I HATE IT.
- godDLL 7y agoWhat I'd like to see is an HTMLx that addresses the core needs of the Web-using entities, and an ecosystem of Web extensions that expand on the capabilities of it. So, something like what smartphones with their apps and markets are doing. Basic call and message capabilities, but then there's TrueCaller and WhatsApp and the like. "Please support our project by enabling advertising on this domain [OK] [Later] [Never]" "For Youtube Movies please install DRM/x264 package from the market [OK] [Later] [Never]" "You will need to enable storage, code, and gaming modules to use Itch [OK] [Later] [Never]" Because browser extensions suck. Browsers suck. Mobile browsers suck. The experience of the Web sucks, for anyone that knows better. Shopping, gaming, streaming, syndication and publishing all suck big time.
