    Web 2.0 was good though. It signified the change from the “original” web mostly being publishers running their own individual, mostly static sites with no user interaction, to user-generated content (social media, photo and video sharing sites, forums, wikis, etc) with some level of interoperability between sites.

      The switch from hosting your own sites to instead having a presence on centralized oligopoly sites is the worst thing that ever happened to the internet.

        I didn’t say I like centralized sites though. Web 2.0 didn’t necessarily bring centralized sites; it brought user contributions and user-to-user communication. Forums and wikis were big for example. It also popularized interoperability with things like RSS and Atom.

          Yeah its wasnt really directed at web 2.0 just at the general state of the web. Ofcourse many cool things are only possbile due to the many generations and iterations of cool protocols and APIs that make things like this website work.
