On the contrary. In a world of spyware stacks controlled by oligarchic corporations, the web is more indispensable than ever.
I agree that it’s a pile of garbage. Essentially a set of languages and protocols commandeered by corporations for their own benefit and also held back by those same corporations so they have a moat. We’ve gathered around human slop like Javascript and stuck with it “just because”.

And yet I bet you would have a hard time spending a day without it. Obviously interacting to this comment would also use the Web.
What will you use instead?
