Story / rant warning.

I remember seeing an unhelpful hyperlink for the first time. It was a random word in the body of a random tech site that redirected to a list of articles from that site tagged with that term.

I remember being stunned, my expectation was that the link would lead me to another website, one that would be an authoritative source on that term and freely accessible.

20 years later we get a paywalled article about fragmented web – and we’re not slowing down.
