Much of that still exists. It's just harder to find than it used to be because the corporate stuff is so loud.
There are a lot of little things that could make the non-corporate internet more appealing to the average person. Why, for example can't I have a shared identity across several independent forums? OpenID came out long ago.
- clairity 4y ago> "...he corporate stuff is so loud." yah, money shouts, it doesn't merely talk. that's a consequence of (implicitly) deciding that money should have a voice in the first place. we explicitly sanction this via a gigantic industry, advertising, in which google has a prominent position. until we collectively decide to deemphasize this whole industry, at least in part by cultivating the small and interesting, the web and the internet at large will be dominated by money shouting.
- Zak 4y agoI think we'll probably always have shouty corporate stuff on the internet, but perhaps we technologists can help bring the rest to a broader audience.
- phendrenad2 4y agoYou're... right in that that stuff still exists. Many websites from 2004 are still online. But many are not. And new sites haven't been created. Instead, sites like reddit/facebook/twitter have captured all new content.
