The same could be said for any form of communication, really.

I remember when phones used to be good. Now it's all

  • We have important information about your car's warranty.
  • Here's information on new solar panel installation that doesn't work with your home / location.
  • You've been selected to answer a quick 15 question survey.

I remember when mail used to be good. Now it's all

  • I'm a disgraced Nigerian prince and I need your help to protect my multi-million dollar fortune.
  • Here's all the important sales WalMart is having this week! Don't miss out!
  • Here's your electricity bill that you're enrolled in auto-pay for. No action is needed on your part, but we're sending you this 12-page summary anyway.

It's still good. It's great even. The best part is you can't "leak" an RSS address so when you subscribe to something you won't be added to spam without you knowing. It's a great medium.

Ah, so now we definitely know why it was quietly swept under the rug!

Thank goodness we have the amazing future now:

ALLOW THIS WEB PAGE TO SEND YOU NOTIFICATIONS!!???

--Every stupid webpage ever

Unrestricted, glorious, arbitrary code at the accidental flick of an "allow" button. Normies everywhere getting inundated with random loud full-page video ads from chrome notifications that recursively cascade-subscribed them to a million other chrome notifications.
