god what I wouldnt give to go back to the days of the mid 90s, when the internet was nothing more than a collection of tech weirdos, with websites being nothing more than passion projects with no advertising, no SEO, no search engines, etc etc.
Such style. Such creativity. Personality in design! It’s like looking back into a lost age from when things were allowed to be fun. None of this ‘advertiser safe minimalism’.
I do have a personal website, but i’m using github to host it. My current works makes heavy use of generative ai, so I haven’t shared it around lemmy due to overwhelming negative opinion regarding ai content.
That’s not gonna happen, and I even disagree with the statement but I can see the merit in it.
That being said the new business model will be the old business model, where everything is paid for. And I do not think that’s so bad, for example I’d pay for a browser if it respects my privacy.
Yeah well maybe the web shouldn’t be a business
America: “No money = no purpose”

Will give a spin
there was plenty of advertising on america online though almost ever keyword was to a business that was an advertisement.
i do agree that web 1.0 and the 90s internet was superior
will give a spinSorry answered wrong comment. Big finger issueCan’t we go back? What’s stopping you?
the pesky linearity of time as we understand it.
I’m going to risk that going back to personal websites would be a blast. And people would enjoy it.
People on neocities: “what’s stopping all of you?”
The small-web exists and thrives in its little bubble of creativity
Neocities? what even is…
Oh.

Does self hosting, at home, really pays off nowadays, or does hiring server space is a mandatory requirement?
what is that, some successor to geocities? or is the naming convention purely coincidental
Successor by a small community, forget the chain of events but, basically yeah.

You can’t say something like that without bringing forth some arguments…
