The web was fantastic until money got involved. And the best parts of the web are still where there is no money involved.

When wasn't money involved?

Geocities was bought for $3.6 billion dollars by Yahoo in 1999. It lauched in 1994. The web is only three years older than that.

I had my first website on Angelfire in 1996 before my 10th birthday. WhoWhere purchased Angelfire a year later, and then they were bought by Lycos a year after that for $133 million.

Also, I don't remeber it being fantastic. To me, even with all faults considered, things are much nicer today.
