World Wide Web divided

Idiocracy in a Blade Runner landscape — describes the first half of the Web split in two Ploum in his blog post “Splitting the Web”.

He argues that the modern Web was divided into two sides:

• the first side is commercial, built upon megabytes of JavaScript frameworks that serve mostly corporations, not website visitors, by tracking every visitors’ step and showing them ads on every corner;
• the second is the internet of tech-savvy people who share information without relying on the services of the mega-corporations and tech monopolies and often actively avoiding being tracked and bombarded with ads.
