Wanted to ask you about this article, how do you remember the early days of the internet (I was sadly too young at that time). Do you wish it back? And do you think it can ever be like that again? I would be very interested

    I miss the real-ness and freedom of it.

    Everything is marketed now.
    Everything is about money and selling either what you’re doing or selling you crap.

    Its no longer an exploration, its gotten into exploitation, and the same groups and companies that were created to explore are now the primary exploiters.

    Particularly Google needs to be torn up into tiny companies that are never allowed to communicate with one another in any fashion. They’re being allowed to do stuff that Microsoft never even got close to doing because being slapped back.
