A long time ago, a lot of people had web sites, and they linked to other web
sites they liked and people could jump from one to another and meet a lot of
new people and see what kind of stuff was out there.
but then at a certain point, most people stopped doing that. They started
going to a small group of sites that had just about everyone on them and
forgot about all of the little sites.
(sort of like the movie "cars", where i guess the little sites are all the
small shops and towns on route 66 and facebook is the big superhighway)
there's only one problem, though:
THOSE BIG SITES ARE CRAP!!!!!!
they are full of things like:
weird ads
your ex from high school
argument about politic!!!
mean uncle
can't talk about fun stuff because need job
"engagement baiting" (?!!!)
"click bait" (?!!)
"search engine optimization" (?!@!!!!!)
and it all looks the same. it's no fun!! it's too easy, there's just a river
of content floating by your eye balls, and you do a little tap and swipe and
that's it. you don't have skin in the game!!! and it's boring but also
addictive. it sucks!
THERE's GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY
so what if we all made web sites and linked to each others web sites and
wrote blog posts that had even more links and then we could visit our sites
and have fun there?!
