I don’t want to log in to your website

This is some real tragedy of the commons shit. The web is becoming a miserable experience because some salesbro who is trying to meet his KPIs is doing stuff to marginally increase the number of paying customers. (And you know, the hell with the rest of us!) The more each site tries to create its own little walled garden, the less valuable the open web becomes.

I’d like to believe we’re better than this, that it’s still possible to make weird, beautiful stuff online and find an audience without doing the scummy marketing grotesquerie.

Le mouvement de fond, c'est le passage d'une économie de l'attention à une économie de l'abonnement et tout ce que cela implique comme changement dans les pratiques de surveillance et d'exploitation des données de comportement.
