    That’s gonna result in a massive amount of dead links. The internet really is dying…

      I don’t think it’s dying. I hope it’s a paradigm shift like when it changed from wild west lawless chaos to three or four huge companies running all of it. Maybe we end up with everything replaced by different distributed services. It’s going to incredibly annoying when half the search results are dead links or links to reddit but that annoyance can drive innovation.

        I’m 100% down to go back to Wild West.

        The feeling and freedom of playing runescape on the early 2000s unfiltered internet was something I’ve missed. Maybe it’s coming back.
