i think we need Cracked-style articles back. desperately. or like, a guy doing a weird thing and writing a piece on it. sites like those are declining faster than the glaciers.

Old internet lacked the following, which made it better:
Content wise, I think points 3, 6 and 7 are the main reasons why we “don’t have as much interesting content”. Too much focus on looking professional, on being marketable, on being profitable. 7, centralization, is how facebook, reddit and others pretty much killed several smaller forums
I love that neocities.org exists, you can make your own website and have a domain there for free, much like the old days of geocities. The problem is that your content won’t be found unless you advertise it elsewhere.
In a way, I suspect the centralized corporate internet is much like the difference between humans living in several, sparsely populated villages, where things and people feel more “connected”, vs living in large urban sprawls, where you’re surrounded by people and stuff, but hardly interact or care about most of it.
So you don’t like SEO…
So you actually don’t care about SEO, but want better content?
I don’t hear anything about you creating content. The issue is, content creators make more money with SEO and monetization. That’s why they do it. If you don’t pay, they don’t care what you want.
Don’t you remember that most Geocities sites sucked and were hard to navigate? Every other page said “under construction”. You are currently on a network that has much better content and interaction than those sites.
Post more if you want more content.
