> Dunno, unless it's like, a bank or government service, no one is getting a copy of my ID or CC just so I can view their fkin website.

Same, companies underestimate how interested I am in using their websites. Last month I uninstalled instagram because it asked me to pay or get more ads, every other post was already either an ad or a promotional post, I left.

The vast majority of websites are already unusable or full of low value bot content, most search engines are useless, block behind paywalls, subscriptions, &c. Hopefully this will create a new ecosystem of tools for people who want to escape

At least until they figure out how to put ads on it.
