1. The pop-up advertisement (late 1990s).

3. The final drowning of the Old Web in LLM-generated “slop” (now).

I am not a fan of TeX for writing (for layout it fits). But projects like these which concentrate on making tools to publish lower and higher effort knowledge graphs might be a good fit. Complex enough Markdown is just TeX. That said wsiwyg will always win.
