Is this the beginning of the end, if the advertisers stop spending money then what's the incentive for tech bros? Are we heading back to y2k internet where people made things just because.
We can only hope.
That would be cool. Like good ol’ times.
Nowadays people share information on Instructables or Hackster without any (visible) incentive.
It would be nice if they start sharing info in just plain HTML, with inline styles and low quality GIFs.
