We need an Internet reset.
Gemini is having a go at it.
That looks really cool. What would incentivise companies to use it over a regular website with tracking and whatnot?
Absolutely nothing.
Unfortunately this.
Not only would companies not want to use it because of no incentives like what they get from the internet with monetary gains, it'll likely only exist as an incredibly niche thing because not many people will hear about it due to the first part.
That said, maybe that's the best part of the whole thing. With less things to exploit, it wards off companies and "influencers" just using it to make money and it becomes more focused around hobbies like the internet once was.
That sounds amazing!
That's incredibly snob from you... and I agree with you.
Sounds like they need some ads! :)
a protocol for the distribution of arbitrary files, like http. A hypertext format, which http was intended for. Using mature technologies such as a bunch of stuff that http already uses.
This is just http with extra steps. The problem is not in how the data is sent, but what data is sent. This is the equivalent of noticing people sending a lot of hate mail via snail mail, and the "solution" to that being to use square envelopes instead.
we need a company-free web. today you search the web for anything and you only obtain garbage SEO optimized results because of the commercialization of the web.
"What would incentivise companies to use it over a regular website with tracking and whatnot?"
Nothing...and that's kinda the point.
Really pulling for Solid.
