I mean, that's just ridiculous. Facebook/reddit hasn't consolidated the entire userbase of the internet,

The internet isn't very beautiful these days though. 4 layers of sticky headers, modals with mandatory
button clicks, ad spam, requests for donations, auto-playing audio/video, bloated requests due to
excessive use of huge, often unnecessary libraries, tracking, desktop notifications, requests to know my
location, cookie notifications, etc.

All this is supposed to somehow enhance the internet, but it abjectly degrades it. The best domains on
the internet are those like Craigslist and Wikipedia, and others that have realized you can both present
information and respect users at the same time.

I welcome the return of JAM stack and relish in the disabling of Javascript. uBlock Origin's element hider
is the most enjoyable in-browser mini-game for me at this point on the horrendous timeline that is the
internet.

Edit: I didn't expect this to gain any traction, but now it is top comment and I feel bad for being purely
negative. I do like this subreddit and also hopes it bounces back. The internet has some good things
going for it outside the realms of frontend development and progress-averse, draconian legislators.

level 3

redroom_

45 points

The absolute best is when multi-million data traffickers have such a hard time understanding you don't
wish to be tracked, as if that one part of their process was built in 1800 and was still steam-powered.

You open some web page and get an overlay listing hundreds of vendors, which gives you the option to
disable them, one at a time.

But when you do that and confirm, the overlay informs you that each one might take up to a few
minutes to "store your preferences", as if they had to send snail mail to each vendor to notify them.
Even then, some vendors time out during this process, as if their magical post office were temporarily
closed (and keep tracking you no doubt).

Meanwhile, I'm sure they keep siphoning and aggregating data at lightning speed.

level 4

ericwdhs

15 points

I'm pretty sure they do understand. It's just that if you're not sending money to a website, the data
traffickers are the website's real customers, so the whole process is intended to cater to them: Offer the
minimum legally required opt out functionality, but maximize the hassle of doing so and keep it as
nonfunctional as you can justify via incompetence or whatever.

I donate monthly to Wiki because I use it as frequently as Netflix or Spotify. I'm happy to pay for things I
find useful, but sometimes costs can get ridiculous. (SiriusXM, for instance. The service and
infrastructure is already in place, and my using it does not add hundreds of dollars worth of strain.)

The biggest irony to me is that people pay a metric ton for cable TV and still have more than 10% ad
time... And no one seems to care. /shrug

Craigslist might have good content and might provide a valuable service, but it is hands-down the ugliest
popular site on the Internet.

The Craigslist front page looks like a cybersquatting placeholder.

To be clear, I love clean, simple design. Wikipedia is nice. The Google front page used to be nice. The
early versions of Facebook, before it became a garbage heap of ads and games and antisocial sponsored
content and shit, were nice (especially contrasting with the eyesore presentation of MySpace).

Craigslist isn’t clean design, it’s lazy design. It is ugly af.

It's going to be less and less rare as the video loses momentum. It will also probably vary a bit on where
you view it from. The views are tallied by a few different serves and then added together in the
background when there is time. Then the added number propagates back out to everyone.

The faster the views grow, the busier the server, the more out-of-sync the viewcount gets.

That's what I've heard too, can't verify the claim though. The sub just kinda stopped appearing on my
front page with no new posts in ages.

Back in the days the web was the Wild West. There were no rules, no UX, no SEO, no personas, no
research. It was a huge sandbox and everyone just made stuff. Today the web has become too complex.
Anything you make requires you to be experienced with some many technologies it is beyond one
person's ability. The web landscape has become too segmented and diversified. That's one problem

The second problem, everyone wants to get paid right away. They produce a cool tool, a great web app,
set it up on a never ending subscription and milk you out of money. I see this problem on Wordpress eco
system on which I develop a lot.

The web is no Wild West anymore, it is a Giant Corporation.

There are other barriers of entry than just the web stacks being too complex. Back in high school I
wanted to run my personal website from home but my internet provider would not let me expose port
80 without paying for their business grade internet (which you could only get if your property was zoned
for business).

I understand the risks of port forwarding 80 but to me Cox was saying "You can not be a part of this, only
the businesses can".

I built a website that I believe is just completely perfect for this sub, but my submission never got
through. It's an interactive, single purpose site called Pictures of Paintings with a top-level domain and it
offers a really unique experience: it’s a virtual art museum designed to help people learn to appreciate
art. Over a hundred paintings, presented in unique hallways and galleries, and some rooms have text to
inform you about the works. It's a whole world to explore something really different to other websites
on the internet. Should I try posting it again??

Yeah I have a similar story. A few years ago this subreddit inspired me to make a site, I posted it here
and it got removed...

I think Pictures of Paintings awesome and is exactly what should be on this sub.

Does the rule about mods pre-approving content still apply? That seemed to kill the sub - why would
mods know better than all of Reddit? Isn’t the whole point of (and the reason for the success of) Reddit
that the content isn’t curated by individual people, but by democratic voting?

I made a Stumbleupon clone which gives you a random site each time and uses machine learning to
improve its random suggestions if you rate the sites.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post it here or if it's in the spirt of the sub. If so, feel free to let me know or
post it.

I found this posted on r/math yesterday that might not deserve its own post on here since it's not
interesting to a wide audience. It's a game that guides you through proving some basic properties of the
natural numbers i.e. the numbers we use to count with (0, 1, 2, 3, ...). Non-experts may be able to follow
it, but I'm not sure. The explanations might be too terse.

Well there's a lot of cool websites out there now like virtual museums, also a lot of historical societies
have online/virtual tours to look at. Plus lots of archives have came online. There's a lot out there and
we don't have to just look at the big sites, because small local ones have a lot going on for themselves.

This is a great website.

One thing that might help - maybe it's just me - but when I come here the page is on "Hot" and nothing
shows - so for a while I thought that nothing new was posted - but when I go to "New" there is a lot -
can you change it so that by default when you come here you land on "New"?
