< Death of the Internet (or not?)
Absolutely. Ads, SEOs, etc. really have ruined the Internet in many ways, even though of course there is the flipside that it allowed many people to find alternative work when there was none. Nonetheless, it'd be cool to see some much-needed creativity and homeliness, especially if we can combine that with some better modern practices (accessibility for example - the "old" Internet was notoriously poor for that at times).
