THE INTERNET IS TEMPORARY
IT WILL RECEDE LIKE THE TIDES AND IT WON'T BE A BIG DEAL BECAUSE MOST OF WHAT IT DOES IS JUST WHAT OLDER TECHNOLOGY DID EXCEPT INTERNETIZED

THERE WAS A HYPE PERIOD, AND TONS OF MONEY GOT DUMPED INTO TECHNOLOGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE AND COMPANIES
WE GOT TO RIDE THAT WAVE OF PLENTY

NOW ITS TIME FOR THE CRUNCH AND ITS TURNING OUT THAT NONE OF THE INVESTMENTS EVER MADE ANY MONEY
YOUTUBE WAS JUST LOSING MONEY IT'S ENTIRE LIFE
TWITTER, REDDIT
WHICH BY THE WAY DISPLACED MOST HOBBYISTS FORUMS AND MESSAGING BOARDS, SO BASICALLY ALL OF WEB 1.0 WAS ALWAYS UNFINANCIALIZEABLE INTO A NET PROFIT PRODUCT
THATS THE ONE USEFUL THING REDDIT HAD DONE, WAS TO SHOW THAT

GOOGLE SEARCH WAS JUST LOSING MONEY TOO
OH IT HAD REVENUE FROM ADVERTISING?
TURNS OUT ADSENSE NUMBERS (EVEN DISCOUNTING AD BLOCKERS) HAVE WAY WORSE CUSTOMER RETENTION/INTEREST THAN ADVERTISING ON BILLBOARDS OVER HIGHWAYS
THAT REVENUE WAS A SCAM THE ADVERTISERS WERE NONE THE WISER TO

NONE OF THIS STUFF EVER MADE MONEY
THE FUCKIN PAPAJOHNS ONLINE ORDERING WEBSITE MADE PAPAJOHNS MONEY, BUT IN CASES LIKE THAT ITS MORE LIKE YOU WERE PENALIZED FOR JUST HAVING A PHONE NUMBER AND NO WEB PRESENCE COMPARED TO YOUR COMPETITION
THE ABSOLUTE SALES NUMBERS DIDN'T INCREASE

AND WITH ALL OF THAT IM TALKING ABOUT THE OLD INTERNET WHICH WAS THE PROJECT OF WHITE MEN
RANJEET IS GONNA RUN THIS BABY INTO THE GROUND EVEN FASTER

I THINK THE FIRST SIGN OF THE CRUNCH IS THE ONGOING ATTEMPTS BY THESE COMPANIES TO TIGHTEN THEIR BELTS AND TRY MORE SERIOUSLY TO FINANCIALIZE THEIR MODEL
TESLA GUY CUTTING TWITTER STAFF AND BRINGING SUBSCRIPTION CHECKMARKS, YOUTUBE DOING TENTATIVE JABS AGAINST ADBLOCK

THE NEXT STEP WILL BE PAID SUBSCRIPTION BASED VARIANTS OF FREE SERVICES THAT WORK BETTER ENOUGH THAN THE FREE THING THAT THE COMPANY SURVIVES AND GROWS
LIKE A PAID SEARCH THATS BETTER THAN GOOGLE ETC

THE NEXT STEP AFTER THAT WILL BE A KIND OF NATURAL ALA CARTE-IZATION OF THE INTERNET WHERE EVERYONE ONLY PAYS SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE SERVICES THEY ACTUALLY NEED AND USE, THE SHRINKING AND DEATH OF OLD FREE SERVICES, AND AS CONSEQUENCE -- THE ABOVE MENTIONED PAPAJOHNS WEBSITE TAX
MORE AND MORE SMALL BUSINESSES WILL DECIDE THEY DON'T NEED THE WEBSITE ANYMORE, AND WHEN THEY GET RID OF IT THEIR SALES DON'T TANK SO ITS JUST STRAIGHT SAVINGS

ENTHUSIAST INTERNET WILL REMAIN QUIETLY FLOURISHING BECAUSE HOBBYISTS ARE WILLING TO PUT TIME AND MONEY INTO THE INTERNET SIDE OF THE HOBBY
A LOT OF THE EASY HOSTING WE'VE GOTTEN BY EFFECTIVELY RIDING THE COATTAILS OF BIG DOTCOM BUSINESSES WILL DIE OFF SO THE NEW MESSAGE BOARDS WILL BE MORE HUMBLE AND WEB 1.0 LOOKING AS A COST SAVING CONSIDERATION

A LOT OF OLDER HOBBIES AND AUTISM MATERIAL THAT LIVES ON OUR PRESENT WEB 2.9 INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BURN LIKE THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA
DATA HOARDERS WILL SAVE A DECENT CHUNK OF IT BUT A LOT WILL BE LOST LIKE THE LOST WEB 1.0 WEBSITE

DATA HOARDER, WE SALUTE YOUR NOBLE SERVICE!

GACHA GAMES AND F2P PHONE GAMES PROVIDE AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF FINANCIALIZING INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY SURVIVE AND THRIVE AND BECOME THE METHOD BU WHICH OLD FREE SERVICES AND INTERNET PORNOGRAPHY CONTINUE TO SURVIVE

I CALL IT THE PAJEETNET
