@ailurocrat @gumnos @thelastpsion Monetization was always part of the spec, just never implemented. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/402
Advertising took over as the dominant method of such.

@netopwibby Some of us know the world before that though. HTTP/1.0 only had 400, 401, 403, and 404 but no 402 (or many of the other response codes)¹. Not as clumsy or random as HTTP/3; an elegant protocol for a more civilized age. 😉 @ailurocrat @thelastpsion ⸻ ¹ https://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/spec.html#Code4xx
