yes I think websites are becoming anachronical at that point.. web will fade into ubiquitous peers for high bandwidth data exchange. messages, multimedia, ar/vr .. the end result will be what matter.

I dunno. I see a backlash happening, people building their own blog sites again. The whole "push to your own site, then syndicate that link to social media" thing seems to be happening more.

I'm tempted to creat a new GeoCities and see how that goes for non-technical folks

I don't think this will last. It's not my personal opinion or preference, I care few about the modern web but to me .. watching people interacting with computers, browsers and how they use whatsapp or instagram .. I see no value for them[0] into the early simple web. It's like betting against television in the 90s.

[0] meaning in the average folk psychology, of course a simpler cleaner web has value, just not to them AFAIB

Isn’t that what NeoCities aims to be (a GeoCities reboot)? Disclaimer: haven’t used it; don’t know how it works.
