    Oh boy. I remember back at the end of the 90ies, being annoyed at friends making websites on popular things only to insert pay per click banners, in the hope of making money out of the internet.

    Corporations have a lot of responsibilities in making thr internet shitty, but people’s greed helps them a lot.

    Still today, I have coworkers dreaming of finding some genius idea to become popular Youtubers and live from that. They don’t realize it means living from ads and encouraging this system.

    Everyone wants to exploit the internet for money. Even when it was new.
