Welcome to the Old Internet Again
Modern HTML, CSS and related web technologies are incredibly great and it&#x27;s amazing what can be done in the browser these days, so from a technology side I don&#x27;t want to go back to the old Internet.<p>Things like non-anonymous tracking, re-targeting, personalized advertisements and bloat needs to go IMHO, but the new technologies can stay.<p>That said what destroyed the early Internet culture is not technology but business interests: Today, if you search for anything that has any kind of business relevance you&#x27;ll almost exclusively find shallow, SEO optimized texts written by content producers. The early Internet wasn&#x27;t yet commercialized so strongly and relied more on hand curation, so you could still find more interesting content that was written without commercial interests.
