Fully agree with this interesting article by @jeena. The fun has gone out of surfing through the internet and discovering weird and wonderful things. Sanitisation has occurred.
@elperronegro @jeena One thing I wonder: even without the influence of tech giants, was much of this inevitable due to the limitations of mobile phone screens?
In the 00s I had a personal site about my travels. I learned enough HTML and CSS to set up the navigation in a way that somehow reflected how the topic was organised in my own mind. But it only worked as long as people were reading it on a fairly large screen with lots of horizontal space. On a small vertical screen it was a disaster.
