Early internet was weird and you could express yourself in ways you cannot today. MySpace was the last holdout of the early internet vibes. Once that disappeared, everything started trending to shit. Cookie cutter interface without customization forced on everyone for the sake of brand identity. More and more limits on how you can express yourself as an individual. Then it became all about monetization and squeezing every penny out of people. Features that addicted there mind with cheap thrills. Sadly, in some ways nostr is already beginning to trend that way and I hope devs pause and give a lot of thought to the things are copying from legacy social media.
