Yes that's exactly what I'm saying! Everything on the modern web these days is bugged and full of trackers when we're just trying to do the most simple and mundane things online just for the government and corporations to add more data on us to their secret consumer profiles they made for us. I also definitely agree this is not solely an American thing...which is exactly why I have fled to very quiet and obscure corners of the internet...like this pub! I love being online, I just really hate what it has become.
Same for me. I've been lamenting about the net not being what it used to be for literal years before accidentally stumbling upon the Yesterweb movement and so forth and then ending up here.
I'm also currently trying to follow through with the general idea of making my own weird cozy website ('cause another awful thing marketability of the Internet did is killing all the personality and customization imo) and I have to say, it's scary how much trouble and effort it costs me now when I could easily do it as a kid. All the more reasons to follow through, though, rewiring my brain back :D
