Exactly my sentiment.

I’d like to add that I’m grieving the discoverability of all these ingenious self made often a bit unpolished experiences.

Platforms come to provide a shiny space for the makers and then slowly enshittify everything snuffing out the life out of the originals. Just like Disney ;)

Thanks for reminding me!

Also, for those who already had wiby on top of their minds, https://search.marginalia.nu can be used to look for old or old-style websites.

Look up Corey Doctorows post that coined it. It is beyond brilliant.

Enshittifying is deeply encoded in the mechanisms of VC money and unlimited growth.
