Legacy of a Dying World Wide Web
Google is ruining the Web (it's a "fixer" only in the negative sense of the word; its existence or mission is based on a false promise) and it's really hurting millions of sites. Back in the 90s when the Web started we had very slow connections (even universities equipped with Ethernet had slow connections by today's standards), but the average quality of news sites was a lot higher (they still had print editions) and navigating the Web wasn't about shopping or finding fake "reviews". There were informative sites like howstuffworks.com (now pure junk, don't bother) and even news sites like independent.co.uk could be loaded quickly using a dial-up modem (now it's over 300 KB; telegraph.co.uk is over 600 KB right now and some well known American news sites are 10 times bigger).
The Internet Archive (and Wayback Machine) may not survive as there are forces trying to force them offline, so what will be left of what we once knew as "The Web"? Almost nothing. About a year ago Google started hiding Google Cache (sometimes or when the need arose it helped salvage removed/censored material) and several preservation projects are defunded to the point of going offline - basically defeating their purpose. When Groklaw stopped publishing it focused on "preservation" (it was the title of its article about it; P.J. sought ways of preserving information) and about a decade later, in spite of great efforts (including going static), Groklaw is no more. Only a decade!
One day, or some time/s in the future, our offspring will look back at this "era" of World Wide Web and social control media (not an utterly ridiculous passing fad like "era of AI", which is meaningless nonsense on par with "AI arms race"). They might wonder what it was about or what it used to look like. They might even ask, "what is this Internet Archive (and Wayback Machine) thing?"
To which one might answer, it's something that the copyright cartel and rich revisionists destroyed like the Library of Alexandria, except unlike the Library of Alexandria, those lasted only a few decades and stagnated after DDoS, data breaches, and lawsuits.
There are no paper copies left. For most of the stuff there was never a physical form at all!
Many people truly believe they're "stars" in social control media, but unlike Newton and Darwin, nobody will remember them, nobody will be able to see what they "created" (as so-called "creators") and the World Wide Web will be some outlandish term. It's like bringing up Xanadu today.
The deterioration of the Web and social control media (and the health of people who participate in the latter) can doom the prospects of offspring, as it props up actual nazis, it's the new "nazi bar". █
