A lot of the time when people are waxing philosophically about how great the open web is I think they are idealizing the kinds of web sites that don’t need to make any money, usually because they are the home of someone’s hobby, and they forget the reality that Eater has 3 different modal pop-ups in JavaScript that need to be dismissed before you can scroll their home page. There’s no idealized open web version of Eater, just as an example but it applies to almost every site.

@joesteel Absolutely. It’s like that meme with the tower of blocks, but it was the whole internet.
