Reddit and its ilk are not the open web, they’ve been showing that clearly for years with the most recent bullshit (from any of them) just underlining what’s already written on the wall.
Web 2.0 failed because of twits like Elon, bozos like Bezos, fuckers like Zuckerberg and Huffman who doesn’t deserve a rhyme. We don’t need them and never did, they’re learning that right now.
I think Web 2.0 is coming to an end because we’ve seen a decade of web sites and services balloon to enormous sizes with absolutely no sustainable business model. They finally peaked with their userbase, there is nowhere else to grow. Now it’s time to start making money. So how do you do that without ruining the experience and driving everyone off to the next big thing?
Not my problem I suppose.

I think we’re probably making a mistake if we think these platforms could have been successful in the long run if only their benevolent dictators had been more competent. In the end it’s a failure of the entire business model; it seems impossible for these companies to survive without becoming evil.
I bet Google is currently breathing a sigh of relief nobody ever cared to use Google Plus.
Not even a meme…. What was google plus? I’ve had a gmail for like 15 years so I must’ve just missed it.
It was a social media site made by Google to compete with big dogs like Facebook, twitter in the early 2010s. Was kind of a ghost town because mostly no one used it and also gained infamy because youtube forced everyone to make g plus accounts to make comments on videos. This backfired badly and the yt community protested hard against this so the requirement had to be removed. It then again became a ghost town and shut down eventually in 2019.
