Neglecting the independent web is exactly what led to it dying out and the Internet becoming corporate algorithm-driven analytics machine. Making it harder to maintain your own, independent website, which does not rely on any 3rd-party to host or update, will just make less people bother. | |

| ▲ | bayindirh 4 days ago | parent [-] | | I mean, a news site needs their journalists to login. Your own personal Wordpress needs a user for editing the site. The blog platform I use (mataroa) doesn’t even have detailed statistics serve many users so they need user support. Web is a bit different than you envision/think. | | |
| ▲ | ArinaS 4 days ago | parent [-] | | > "I mean, a news site needs their journalists to login." Why can't this site just upload HTML files to their web server? | | |
| ▲ | nottorp 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Why can't this site have their CMS entirely separated from the public facing web site, for that matter? :) > Eyeball optimization: Different titles, cutting summaries where it piques interest most, some other A/B testing... Any non predatory practices you can add to the list? | | |
| ▲ | bayindirh 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I think you were trying to reply to me. I'm not a web developer, and I don't do anything similar on my pages, blog posts, whatever, so I don't know. The only non-predatory way to do this is to being honest/transparent and don't pulling tricks on people. However, I think, A/B testing can be used in a non-predatory way in UI testing, by measuring negative comment between two new versions, assuming that you genuinely don't know which version is better for the users. |

| ▲ | bayindirh 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Two operational requirements: 1. Journalists shall be able to write new articles and publish them ASAP, possibly from remote locations. 2. Eyeball optimization: Different titles, cutting summaries where it piques interest most, some other A/B testing... So you need a data structure which can be modified non-destructively and autonomously. Plus many more things, possibly. I love static webpages as much as the next small-web person, but we have small-web, because the web is not "small" anymore. |
