remember when the internet was fun and full of possibilities? yknow how now it's a miserable hell? reminder that what happened is that capitalism colonized it and now it's just as shitty as everything else capitalism's got its hooks in
like. seo, algorithms, targeted advertising: these are all DESIGNED to keep you from finding some weirdo's X-Files fan page or geocities star trek web ring. I would 1000x rather find those than tweets from the u.s. president, yet here we are #thankscapitalism
@skirts This. I remember the the Matrix came out I had my own fanpage. The main "marketing strategy" was: submit to webrings and some of the bigger link collection sites. I was so proud that I learned some HTML and CSS. And I only used visual editors back then, but it was still awesome.
Now even a simple blogpost can be a chore. What's the best title for it, so they can find me? Is it long enough for Google? Etc.
Frak that shit.
Just create!
