Well, yes. We've all been watching this happen in real time for 15 years now. How is anybody still surprised?

The only hope we have, and it's a tiny hope, is to build another world wide web that returns to the old ways and have it catch on in popularity, at least to early 2000s levels, to make it could.

No reason we couldn't do this today, but...eh. It won't happen. The good times are over. Forever.
