The web has fallen so far from "information wants to be free".

  "Information wants to be monetized."

  that definition of free was always about liberty, not cost! serving information costs money. requesters aren't entitled to the bandwidth costs! the centralized walled gardens we have today are a direct result of people confusing "free" to mean "no cost" instead of "I can do whatever I want with it"

  The good parts still exist. They just don't grow as fast as the bad parts of the web. But like email, we're perhaps drowning in spam.
