I think the internet is broken, and it's broken at it's core (jeferson.me)

I think AI won't save us here, our base is broken. The internet is kind of shattered, most of the pages on the wild have broken and even wrong links. Divs doings the work of buttons, the semantics are totally lost. This, at least for me, feels like a good view point on what we can fix first, and with luck have a better internet.

All feedback is welcome.

I seen the small web movement. Those sites are not good. Not only is there nothing to do except read posts but functionally they are bad UX to navigate.

Most of the static sites dont even need to be websites. The baker does not need a website. Good website or bad website makes little to no difference. Its fine if they want to have a single static page with some info and a contact email im not saying they need anything good. But if every site was like that the internet would be worse than it is today.

You are so wrong in this assumption. You barely touched the tip of the iceberg behind the small web movement.

Most of the static sites dont even need to be websites.

Are you suggesting that we shouldn't have a page? That my blog isn't important enough to exist?

The baker does not need a website.

What is the baker want's to have a footprint online, maybe adding his working schedule? Maybe adding some historical information about the bakery? Or even information for requesting a special bakery? Isn't this important?

Good website or bad website makes little to no difference. Its fine if they want to have a single static page with some info and a contact email im not saying they need anything good. But if every site was like that the internet would be worse than it is today.

Not sure if I follow this, but prefer the things stays the way they are. With pages using 10mb of frameworks without any need, with pages that loads a "loader" to load the page? Because this is the reason why the internet is ugly and broken.

If this is the case, I not only disagree with you, but I think you should experience the web, look for local pages and see how good or bad they can be.
