This was a failed idea from the start. Furthermore, the "commercial web" is not so bad. Sometimes I'm not sure if peoole like this dude truly live in a bubble. I mean, you have to take HN with a grain of salt, opinions here not representative at all and not better than the ones from the general population.

Well ... Bubbles are everywhere ... you may live in one too? So maybe I am. "not so bad" ... means what? It's bad but I got used to it. For me this is always the beginning of the end ;-)

Well, I've been using (surfing?) the web since the late 90s and sure, some things have become more commercial, there are new walled-gardens, some ads are annoying, cookie banners annoying but really you can do everything you could do back then an 100x more.

Would I want to go back to the so-called golden, idealized age of the web in the late 90s/early 2000s? No.

So, what I'm saying is that it hasn't deteriorated. The only thing that's happening is that HN is an echo chamber.
