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.

Most news isnt static. Its an app and its a link embedded in an app. Blogs are not popular or relevant so idk why we are even talking about them. Substack has most of the market and its not a static site.

Ecommerce could not be static without major regressions to usablity.

I do live in a place with fast internet but we are talking about future and I think its stupid to build a future web for people who have slow internet when all the trends point to increasing internet speeds and connection around the world. I'm sure Africa doesnt want to finally get online and see everything be a static site.

You can run discord off a mobile data connection, when Africa builds out their Internet infra they will prefer services like discord over low bandwidth stripped down barebones services.

the future web doesnt need to care about a 1mb page or a 10mb page. It only matters what you can do. Static site can do very little. You can't have Lemmy as static site and Lemmy is an example of what I think future web could be. Open, interconnected, full of features and QoL. Lemmy gives you the things reddit tries to sell you.

What? Do you have any data to support that? Because I do, "blog", or any "news" page have way more traffic that you think about it, ask Cloudflare. And they are (the good ones) mostly static. So review you own concepts. Because you are wrong.

Ask Amazon, most of their pages are static. They have island of interactivity, but the page for the product is static. So I think you have no idea what you are talking about.

Man this is racist.

I can't even talk on this topic, and I'm disgusted by your view. You have no idea what you are talking about.

Again you are wrong. And from the level of arguments provided, there is very little we can discuss.

Ps.: The world don't care about the future, just check the price of RAM and we can talk about performance and use less and do more.
