The Web began dying in 2014. André Staltz writes about how and why. In a nutshell, traffic from mobile and tablet devices now surpasses that from regular desktop computers and of that traffic the overwhelming majority goes to either Faecebook or Google. Amazon is also in there. None of them have any interest in defending the open Web any more. Rather the situation is the opposite, they are aiming to carve out a section and establish very isolated walled gardens. Net Neutrality, or the lack thereof, lie at the heart of their plans based on the direction they have moved since 2014.

ai will probably have to decide what is best(rank who the experts really are instead of who has money?) then the herd wont be dependent on whoever happened to have used/stole/whored his way to the top. right now the ignorant herd just listens to whoever is on top whipping them. it would be nice if the boss was at least a fellow cow or sheep instead of a laughing wolf.
