Fun rant to read, but this is an entitled view. Not everyone has to have a website, or has to care about democratising the internet. If you don't want to do business with them just because you shun platforms, that's up to you. They may be doing just fine without your patronage.

> If you don't want to do business with them just because you shun platforms

I don't do business with them because I can't access their hours, menu, services, etc... I've had this happen a few times. I'm not avoiding these businesses because I'm a snob. It's because I literally can't access the information. So, I go back to google and find a business that provides the information I need to decide if the business meets my needs before traveling to their location.

You can't even find a phone #? How about calling and asking? How do you know this place even exists without any information?

This is the opposite of old man yelling at clouds, it's young people complaining about the dumbest shit.

If the article writer is reading this, I feel the opposite. No, I don't want 1000 different websites. I like to use consolidated feeds.

No More Websites!

		> How do you know this place even exists without any information? You want to find an antique book store in another state. How do you find it? You search the web. And what information bubbles to the top of the search results? Answer: businesses with websites. If you are a business owner, you will lose customers without a website, because that is how most people will find you. You might not like it... but that is the reality.
