It's been known for some time that the web is changing into the Zero-Click Internet, the name for when users no longer need to click on links...

    Reminder: the Internet has its roots from ARPANET which is designed to survive an atomic blast and openly available to learn. A dead web business model won’t kill the technology that allows humans to instantly communicate. If anything a new internet may come of this once the money dries up.

        You’re mixing ISP fees with Ad/monetized content revenue (the “web business model”). One is a shortcut to not having build your own infrastructure and the other is for people we don’t really need for the internet to function.

      Yep there is nothing stopping new web sites coming online. It’s just hard to find them. Guess what was also hard in the early Internet days? Finding them. Web rings may make a big comeback.
