I don’t know if greed destroyed the open and experimental Internet. It has certainly helped shape it in both some good and some bad ways. I was in my 20s when the Internet became widely available. People published hard-copy yellow pages to help you find sites back then because there weren’t any good search engines. Animated GIFs would visually abuse your senses. 14.4k and later 28.8k modems were how most people watched the Internet slowly load in their browsers, Usenet clients, etc. I think things have gotten a lot better since then and entrepreneurship has driven most of those improvements.
