Seeing the responses to this post just further adds to my conviction that the web is dead.

You can't rely on websites being futureproof or adaptable to different situations.

You can't rely on content being accessable to everyone. Nor can you count on content being available forever anymore.

Sites are blocked or throttled by ISPs and governments. Sites are expected to censore they're content. Even search results are being censored.

You can't trust in even the most basic assumption of privacy or anonymity. Everything you do is being tracked and sold.

So many social networks require your phone number. So many sites need you to login or need your email.

It's all one big get rich quick market.
