They made internet a service where we are the products for advertisers, doesn't help google basically monopolizing the internet as well with their engine

Let's give total control of the WWW to an ad company. What could go wrong? It's my belief that this all started with the WHATWG and the development of HTML5; this is the vital moment that gave g**gle its dominant role on the WWW today. They were developing the standards, so it's obvious that they'd make the best browser! They know how to play the long game.

We control what you see: Search engines. We control how you see it: Standards and web engines. How are you going to go against us?

yeah, still, that's the mainstream web, the web still a protocol everyone can use and improve upon, obviously, if we go our separated from the mainstream we will lose the benefits that made us too accommodated but at the end of the day it's us vs them, fuck big tech. I would rather have small circle just like the early web than what we have nowadays

Thank God I was lucky enough to live under that era, I miss it for sure

Yup, fortunately we know better. But I wish the rest could see it too.

At this rate, we're going to be better off making our own internet.

A quarter-century ago, corporations and the subhuman marketers who they employ determined that the Internet should be like teevee: crammed with obnoxious and ubiquitous ads, and all manner of trashy glut. The results speak for themselves.

The W3C is so brazenly perfidious that I'm stupefied that anyone is still using their shitty, needless validators. Use weblint.
