| The web is still open, anyone can post anything they want and anyone can see it (in the US, at least). An open web, to me, does not imply access to all websites. |

| Alternatively, how would you suggest content that takes time and effort to make be funded? I get that it's sad, but I'd gladly pay a monthly sub to use a not enshitified internet, rather than the cluster fuck of ads and data stealing that exists in the modern web. Spending time on the 90s and early 2000s internet and comparing it to this dumpster fire makes me so darn sad. |

| People still have to be paid. or they won't be paid and you just get different flavors of slop. |

| ▲ | sowbug a day ago | parent [-] | | Were you paid to write this comment? If not, then your statement is either true (and therefore slop), or false (because what made the early web awesome was people like you putting their thoughts online... for free). |
