Indubitably, platforms and the cloud were a different world 20 years ago, more sane, before social media and ads everywhere. Another of the worst drifts has been any of the multiple trials to cancel or marginalize Internet standards in favor of proprietary protocols and formats.

@tef unfortunately, the original Big Web Dream began to die with the advent of mobile-first and social media. Now its death is only accelerating. Read @timbl's book about that.
