Some people in 2026 are still updating sites the old school way: https://brisray.com

Ray's a great example, he even has a lovely page about webrings: https://brisray.com/utils/webrings.htm

Was very happy to have him as a guest on my series if you want to know more about the story of his site: https://manuelmoreale.com/interview/ray-thomas

That said, I don't entirely agree with the point of the article you linked.

What made the web suck was money imo. If the incentive is to keep posting to get views and those views are translated into money, then yeah, there's no incentive to keep things static. But on today's web, blogs aren't the only option. Plenty of people prefer to have digital gardens, which I think are a lot more close to old school sites.
