That post is from like 2008. Where is stuff like this still being posted today?

And my main complaint is exactly that view of the internet as "providing a livelihood", or in other words, just being another venue of capitalist value extraction.

It stopped being a medium of genuine exchange of ideas and started being yet another money making scheme. What made it special in the early days was precisely the non-commercial nature.



It didn’t stop, it became drowned out by an incredible amount of noise. The content is still there, still being made.

How do we put it back in the spotlight, or at least make it accessible again?
