    Thank God.

    Hard times are here for news sites and social media. Is this the end of Web 2.0?

    The end of Web 2.0, maybe, and what comes next
    To many observers, the current moment of the digital media industry getting rickety and top social media sites rapidly degrading in quality could be ushering in the end of Web 2.0.

    That refers to the modern internet: mediated through large platforms like Google, Facebook and Twitter that are awash with user-generated content and that help people navigate the web. Social media sites, search engines, and online marketplaces like Amazon are all part of Web 2.0.

    But being on Twitter and Facebook these days showcases the decline of Web 2.0. The discourse is overheated. Misinformation is rampant. It's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Users are fleeing. News outlets can't trust the platforms.

    So where does digital news go from here?

    Hopefully back to selective “quality”. Podcasts. Paid and free subscriptions. Niche groups. Newsletter. AI news interpreter.

    This is pure Web 1.0.
    I am browsing the world wide web on the Netscape Navigator on Mac OS 8.
