**Too long**, and **too histrionic**, to say many things that the good folks at [IndieWeb](indieweb.org/), the [EFF](eff.org/), etc have been saying for a decade or two now.

Not to mention **incoherent** (if _“the is fucked and there's nothing we can do about it”_, why should I care about it, bother to read the post, or try to change anything at all?), **inaccurate** (_“web 1.0 […] was better”_… there are few breaking changes in the development of the : that web the author misses didn't go anywhere; anyone can still create and browse sites like those) and **naïve** (have fun using alternatives to Gmail, Google Maps, Wikipedia, many kinds of streaming, collaborative editing of online docs, some kinds of feeds or syndication, sites with 3D capabilities, microblogging, etc!).

@tripu It seems like a really long way of saying "I'm nostalgic for old geocities sites". Was it really worth setting up a whole domain for this blog post?

@ztx shares this same sentiment. I don't share it. I often enjoy and use monotopical websites. I thank the internet gods everyday for xyproblem.info/
