As noted in the article, Google comes up with a scheme like this every couple months. They also can’t seem to identify good sites anymore, based on their search results.

So… fuck it. Let them DRM their part of the internet. It is mostly shit nowadays anyway. They can index Reddit, X, and a bunch of sites that are GPT SEO trash.

We’re never getting 201X internet back anyway, so let Google and friends do their thing and everybody who doesn’t want anything to do with it can go back to the 200X internet. It was kind of disorganized but it it better than fighting them on DRM over an over again.

What are 200X and 201X internets?

decades :)

If we had known how fleeting the glory of the early 2010s internet would be, with everything ad-free and seo still comparatively rudimentary, would that have made it easier or harder to watch it die?
