I remember back when people put stuff on the internet for free because it was fun and they enjoyed sharing. I suppose the need for compensation has truly destroyed every good thing.
- arpa 6y agoExactly. Old web was the bees knees.
- izacus 6y agoThere was also significantly less stuff because hosting and hardware cost money.
- kibwen 6y agoEven with significantly less stuff there was more stuff than you could ever consume. In addition, the cost and barriers to hosting static content have fallen quite a bit since then, and the percentage of the human population that has access to the internet (and can thus participate in creation) has risen dramatically. An ad-free internet would not be starved for content.
