1999: there are millions of websites all hyperlinked together
2019: there are four websites, each filled with screenshots of the other three.

Truth. The web has gotten much, much worse, particularly in the last 5-7 years. It was best between roughly 1999-2005, before Facebook and its ilk and while blogs still dominated. I expect further deterioration as both the left and the right are ardent censorship supporters and corporate priorities continue to purge all interesting content and people.
