The main argument justifying all the complexity of the current Web is that it is required for "scaling" teams and operations. There is ofcourse *some* truth in that. We are (collectively) getting increasingly more ambitious about the things we want to do over the Web.
But what "scale" are we targeting? The tools, frameworks and mindsets currently dominating are those that serve the needs of an #adtech oligopoly. It is not the architecture to support a diversified, decentralized digital society.

@openrisk Isn't it fascinating that most browsers include a "reader mode" now? All of the fancy HTML, CSS and JS just to be disabled with a simple switch. The loop is closing.
