Are you prepared to pay for it?

As much as I did back when we had it.

Many people love sharing stuff. The move to this ad-driven web happened because companies saw they could make money here. I'm totally fine with companies not making money and the web being driven by scientists and hobbyists.

Are you under the impression that the people creating the web content of the 90s and 00s were being paid for it?

Sure. We're all paying for it anyway -- the only question is what currency we're paying with. I'd much prefer the currency be cash rather than data.

I have no ads or tracking on my website and provide code and projects, I just enjoy sharing things so other people can learn or get benefit out of what I've created.

I remember early 2000's, late 1990's internet...it was truly better times. Simplicity ruled, content ruled, not design solely around selling clicks.
