If the web develops the way it does now we will have 3 distinct zones.

1. The commercial web

DRM filled, fueled with advertisement and tracking. Essentially low quality amusement.

2. The dark/deep web

TOR, activism, privacy, illegal+legal anonymous trades

3. Bunch of retro people running BBS'es, peddling e-zins and demos.

The web as we know it from the 90s - content first.

I miss the old web, can we take a shortcut to #3 faster?

@mulander I already write most of my websites as static almost-malformed html anywy

@Efi yeah, I consume a lot via terminal apps. I'm annoyed as hell when someone sends me an email that I absolutely must open outside of mutt.

Same goes for websites with autoplay videos, tons of images and heavy js - just to display a paragraph of text plus ads.
