Wanted to ask you about this article, how do you remember the early days of the internet (I was sadly too young at that time). Do you wish it back? And do you think it can ever be like that again? I would be very interested

    @bstix @Provider My theory is that it’s easier to game and spam Google search results than it is YouTube’s. The webpage is going to have ads and Google logins and feedback forms and cookie banners and maybe, somewhere in there, content. YT may have a couple skippable ads at the start, but the production bar is a bit higher. (For now, anyway.)
