The first annotation network I remember was pre-2000. They could only get investment if they created a system that required modifying DNS. I struggled against this and was the last commercial internet work I did.

The commercial web shifted the development from people self-publishing to ads that needed to be sold.

This has had a tremendous effect on everything.

The best example I have is the massive infrastructure many people insist is required for a website.
