We broke the web so badly for humans that we had to build a clean web for machines, and now humans will have to use machines to experience a clean web again.

Yeah, when browsers have a "reader mode", it's pretty obvious the plot has been lost somewhere.

I wonder why we broke the web.

For the same reasons why we eventully pollute and corrupt every system and environment we use. If there is any benefit that can be extracted for some while the costs are borne by many, than this will occur and generate a positive feedback loop that grows over time.

It's the law of monetization.

And despite this, modern life is made possible by the illusion that "regulations" work..

For money! Ads make money.

Because while consumers value “inefficiency” (high design, wonderful prose, beautiful images, great usability) they don’t want to actually pay for it. Producers have to become extremely efficient without revenue, and are stuck with a choice: Produce at a loss, stop producing, or seek payment from another source (sponsorships, ads).

It seems there's little agreement over how the web is broken.

People who love cookie banners either don't exist, or are alien invaders :)

In order to break the user, of course.

It's a matter of time until the web for machines will be crawling with ads and everything else, and worse.
