@penryu@hachyderm.io I don't think it is a cop-out. Communication is hard; there's a reason people end up writing entire books to make just a few points. It could very well be that the same statements modulated by your perspective and experience mean very different things than they do modulated by mine. It could very well be that I left something out, either in my writing or in my perception, that makes all the difference. I think the statements as presented don't show the whole story either way - fears of long-term financial instability also help lessen the value of intrinsic motivation, for example. I agree any nostalgic idolization of the so-called "Old Web" has to be done with care, as it had flaws and struggles of its own; but there's only so much I can fit in a fediverse post written in a few minutes from my laptop.
