I’m a wire service for nonsense.
I wonder if clouds ever look down on us and say.. "Hey look! That one is shaped like an idiot!

But there will be more of them, and they will matter much more. The RSS audience is small. The off-platform audience will be huge. The publishers of tomorrow will become like the wire services of today, pushing their content across a large number of platforms they don’t control and didn’t design.

Make "heroes" fully realized human beings. If they start out as rude or hostile, make them take responsibility for their actions and change!

Look at the heaping pile of garbage that is the "web scale" internet. Maybe chasing VC dollars and VC scale wasn't the best idea. (3)

In the pursuit of massive money, we left so much by the side of the road. We ignored people & ran right over whatever was in our way. (4)

We're awash in crap "web scale" ideas. Let's go back to human scale. Let's build things, communities, livelihoods, that are small again. (5)

"Web scale" had its chance, and it's by and large destroyed the web. So let's start over. Let's go back to me-and-you scale. (6)

App install ads, pages that dim for pop ups, tiny [x] to close, pages that reformat as they slowly load…. mobile web UX keeps degrading.
