reasonable post about certain site areas like banking etc being unchanged really, and the increasing landscape of bloat and downward spiral of dev options, but when it comes to using adblockers etc, I don't get it still. Why is it always the people who use adblockers are so complainy? You don't need an adblocker. You're visiting the wrong sites. Those news sites with unbearble ads? why are you on them? Go elsewhere for your news. Twitter ads? sure, they get annoying interjecting, but if you say "I don't like this ad" they mostly disappear/change. Same with instagram. It just takes a bit of training and then you won't remember/notice them. I am connected to the web constantly to get information and a wide array of it, but that doesn't mean I need to surf the whole array of the web because yes, a ton of those commerical areas are horrible. So I hardly notice ads/they are interfering really. Not enough to let it get to me. I can bear 5 seconds on an ad on YouTube once in awhile and for the most part you shouldn't be watching that much YouTube to begin with directly on the site - consume them via twitter and other embeds as needed.

Anyways, adblockers. Bleh.

And to the other stuff, the creative emergence of the web was glorious but then it moved with the internet in general to a more mainstream, utility use and of course commercial glut came with that. Getting back to more of the 'art' of web design and more personal blogs etc as everyone continually mentions for last number of years would be nice, but where we're at as far as technology and the 'resource' of the web is just part of the evolution and growth to the billions of people it reaches now.
