Back to the internet's peer-to-peer roots. Many protocols besides the www

The www became infested with so-called "tech" companies acting as intermediaries (middlemen)

Lots of folks making money from surveillance ad system on the www. Oversized, unmanageable websites calling themselves "platforms"

The www is an ad network. Not a great place for non-commercial activity

Fortunately, the internet is more than the www. The internet was not created to collect behavioral data and deliver advertising as its primary purpose

People pay for an internet subscription, not a www subscription (or now a "social media subscription")
