I don't miss the old internet. It was full of personal hard to read websites where you find some useful articles but a lot of fluff too. It is the same today, not much changed. Its hard to find people who produce focused content. The useful stuff is always mixed with posts about politics, personal stories, and status updates. Same on blogs, same on twitter, same on youtube.
The internet I like to see is where you can follow someones work and ideas without being sidelined. If a person is active in a few different fields then two separate websites are in order. My feeling is that this has not changed between the "old internet" and the "new". There is a small fraction people producing content in this way. Maybe today its a bit easier to find them.
- rchaud 5y agoI never see the kind of performative posting on those personal sites that I do on Twitter or FB. The difference is simple. Personal websites don't have "like/share/retweet" buttons that incentivize playing to the crowd instead of being true to oneself.
