Killing the open web? Not hardly...<p>&gt; I had a blog once. It wasn’t big, but I loved knowing who I was writing for. I loved knowing that the same couple hundred people would come back again and again...<p>Had a &quot;blog once&quot;? And your a writer?  Why did you stop writing for it?<p>This is the same article that could have been written by musicians 12 years ago or the MPAA 8yo...yes yes existential threats to the fundamental nature blah blah fucking blah...<p>Don&#x27;t get me twisted tho...I don&#x27;t even <i>like</i> Facebook and Twitter anymore due to their obscene popularity, but whining about them &quot;killing the open web&quot;?<p>Please just stop the hyperbole.
