      The privately-owned for-profit Internet is starting to pop. User-driven FOSS will reign supreme.

        Just like the good old times of internet. When every kid had a hobby and installed a forum software into a shared hosting to spend time with others. “If you build it, he/they will come.”

      You mean popped again? It has already popped back in 2002 with the dot-com bubble bursting. Seems investors never learn.

            Nsfw images can’t be monitised with ads.

        Been wondering how they detect how many videos you’ve watched without being logged in.

        Cookies can be cleared, IPs can be changed, and if we all use something like the Mullvad Browser fingerprinting will be far more difficult.

          I just spin up new virtual machines, with different flavors of linux. They’re all fairly interchangable at this point.
