I'm not convinced that it is much better in this decade: - paywalls & 'login to see more' - autoplaying videos that follow you whn you're just trying to read an article - cookie banners - artificial loading throbbers - horrible intrusive tracking - an advertising corporation also has the near-monopoly on browsing - we have more bandwidth but apparently need 5Mb of javascript just to render text - mobile first design, meaning much lower information density - walled gardens like discord, facesbook, twitter, reddit storing content in inaccessible, unarchivable form There were problems then but there were fewer headaches and fewer exhausting battles just to stay sane.
