    The shift of 'the internet is the greatest tool for knowledge, to what it is now, some cancerous corpo bloated bullshit

    Spot on.

    The worst part is that anyone who wasn’t around for the first 10ish years of the web has never seen how real and optimistic and grass roots and delightfully human it was.

        To be fair 90% of the corporate bullshit we are looking at today is born out of the same mindset as popups.
