They should never do that. People who want walled gardens should go with a rented solution from one of those website builder companies

It's just great to see work on self-hosted cms, and PHP nevertheless, the easiest one to host. Open source has forgotten the art of making the web open to everyone, not just to BigTech employees.

That market does not exist, it will never make money (maybe from leeching the public sector but everyone makes some scraps there). In fact the idea that laws will create a market was a bad idea.

It would be nice if we had the option to ask for $1 to our visitors, but we don't because the credit card and payments racket works its magic. Just what are websites supposed to do to survive? Shutting down is not a valid answer

Of course the #1 culprits are the advertisers themselves, because they don't care about their craft, they are lazy and just push all their money to google. But the web should be like an arcade machine where people can pay to get content, and current regulation makes that impossible
