      Thanks for your detailed post.

      I’ve bookmarked many of the links to various tools you mentioned and will put them on my todo list to look into.

    I feel like there has been waves of losses.

    • Web 2.0 upgrades made everyone feel like they had to have a shiny polished site. We lost a lot of fun amateurs.

    Once apps started getting pushed websites started to get abandoned/empty. everything from shopping to small games. I shouldn’t need an app for the coffee shop.

    Bots and bad search operators made looking and finding a chore.

    Insta killed blogs, suddenly everyone wanted a insta or YT brand rather than a blog/rss

    • Everything became sponsored =- say i wanted to find out how to polish my boots, the first 3 pages and everything everywhere suddenly tries to sell me boots.

    This is why i no longer enjoy the internet. I know i sound old man yelling at cloud.
