Control is being taken away from the internet and I don't like it.
Yeah, pal. Welcome to the end of Internet 2.0. We lamented the end of internet 1.0 when you could have a quick link to a web ring that led to a free website you created specifically for your pet as an example, if you felt like it, on one of at least 4 or 5 webspaces available. Geocities was a big one, but there were others.
And I'm sure BBS / Trapline people lamented internet 1.0's creation where you had to remain connected online at all times and couldn't just dial in to make a post on someone else's PC via a phone number.
Now if you want your own space, you have to go to one of the few approved (corporate controlled) social media sites and shill your tiny web space to get any eyes on it, other than google bots and random bewildered passersby who mistyped a URL they manually typed. if they let you, that is. They don't want you leaving their space where they get to control your every word.
