This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it's only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

Centralized control and ad based model ensures this always happens... Cable teevee, now web2.0...

About time the pleb base start thinking bigger picture and voting with their feet and wallets.

What is the alternative to web 2.0?

I always hated that crypto shit stole the name web3/web3.0. I think for a short period it seemed decentralized apps were calling themselves web3.0 but now it's just the fediverse I think. I like calling it the true web because the fediverse is very much like the old days where we had niche sites with their own communities, it's just that the content isn't locked into each site and we don't need a million different forum accounts to participate everywhere. Like the old days but supercharged with new tech.

What is web 2.0?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0

Web 2.0 (also known as participative (or participatory)[1] web and social web)[2] refers to websites that emphasize user-generated content, ease of use, participatory culture and interoperability (i.e., compatibility with other products, systems, and devices) for end users.

Someone misspelled "predatory" at the start of that paragraph.

The emergence of every website being gated, requiring an account and sla subscription. Also the rise of rediculous personalized advertisements and user tracking.

We can go back to old HTML4 and CSS1 websites without any JS. What a sight to behold
