I've had this theory for a while now, and it seems to be playing out. The future of the internet is going to be behind a paywall.

The old internet as we know it, the free one, will be a cesspool of ads, spam, and scams. A deserted wasteland no one goes to.

Internet connected devices, (especially for kids) will only connect to whitelisted, paid sites.

Perhaps we'll look back and remember the innocence we used to have about the old, open internet.
