You may have come across some sort of spicy take like "web components aren't 'components'".

Well here's a spicier take. 🌶️

React components aren't components.

Neither are Solid, Svelte, or Vue.

They are ephemeral constructs in memory which technically have no direct relationship to HTML at all.

As far as the browser is concerned, the *only* sort of component it can be made aware of is a web component. It knows nothing—can know nothing—of anything else.

You can't vote out the power and influence of the hyper wealthy.

You ever think about how Google de-spined - destroyed - literal tonnes of books donated by university libraries, with the intention of scanning them into a digital free library, and how none of that ever materialized?

Those books are just gone now, instead.

Fundamentally, the web brought us together; our knowledge, ideas, and experiences. By synthesising, fabricating, cosplaying these things, "AI" is undoing all that. It's gutting the web and filling it with plastic floss. It's taxidermy.
I CAN'T be the first person to have thought of this …?
