I could probably make more money robbing a bank today than going to work.

Nobody needs to provide an alternative sustainable business model to fuel my desire for sports cars and travel I just need to live with what I can make from legitimate work.

Most of the web is either, cheap to run, paid for by other commercial activity, or crap and if it went away tomorrow because people could not pay for it by shoving their crap in your face nobody would care.

That's one hell of a false analogy you've got there.

Essentially the entire web is funded by advertising; you are way off the mark with your assertion.

[michaelmrose]

By volume the web is mostly crap that wont be missed.

I have nothing constructive to add to this thread only that I really miss the web of the late 90s.

Blink tags, shockwave, real player, stitched backgrounds, and design by tables. The web of the 90s was crap

[wffurr]

It was slow then too.
