god what I wouldnt give to go back to the days of the mid 90s, when the internet was nothing more than a collection of tech weirdos, with websites being nothing more than passion projects with no advertising, no SEO, no search engines, etc etc.

there was plenty of advertising on america online though almost ever keyword was to a business that was an advertisement.

i do agree that web 1.0 and the 90s internet was superior

Nothing, really.

We’re the only ones stopping ourselves. The 90s and everything that made is ‘great’ is still here, we just choose not to use it.

That’s not gonna happen, and I even disagree with the statement but I can see the merit in it.

That being said the new business model will be the old business model, where everything is paid for. And I do not think that’s so bad, for example I’d pay for a browser if it respects my privacy.
