The Return of the 90s Web
What I miss most from the early days of the Internet is the content. It was all created with love.<p>My theory is that the high barrier to entry of online publishing kept all but the most determined people from creating content. As a result, the little content that was out there was usually good.<p>With today&#x27;s monetized blogs, it is often content for content&#x27;s sake. People don&#x27;t try, or they write about topics which they are not really interested in, but did just to have a new post. Or often the writing is bad.<p>Maybe today&#x27;s problem isn&#x27;t the blogs, but the SEO that puts the crap blogs at the top of the search results. Or maybe I&#x27;m misremembering and the old content was crap too, or maybe my standards are higher than they were in my teenage years.
