I think this is the first time I found a reasonable take on “how to fix the internet”. You can’t fix the corpo web. Most people just want constant updates and they don’t care about ads, bots and AI slop. You can’t change their minds.

Saying “fuck it, I will just build my own thing and I don’t care if anyone will see it” is the right approach. Couple of times I was thinking about creating some guides (like guide to public EV chargers in Spain) and I just gave up because I realized I’m not going to win the SEO war and no one is going to view it. Why write guides if they are not helping anyone? I’m still not sure if it makes sense to create guides but it may be a good idea to create a simple site, post some photos, share a story. I will probably do it.

I agree with everything here. The internet wasn’t always a constant amusement park.

I’m rather proud of my own static site

I think I wrote this. This is my philosophy for how the web should be. Social media shouldn’t be the main Highway of the web. And the internet should be more of a place to visit, not an always there presence.

Interesting read. It captures a lot of how I feel and what I miss about the “old internet.”
