I want to bookmark this comment as my thoughts on this are basically the same but I'm sure I'll forget it the next time I need to put it into words.

Also, I don't think wanting everything to be paid is a good idea in the world we live in, although I can't think of a world where there's only a paid option is a good idea. What I mean is that there was a time when I benefitted from the free access to information that the internet provided, now things have evolved to be a bad version of that with widespread misinformation and really egregious ads; but that old internet with ads only there to recoup the hosting costs and people sharing information for the joy of it will always be something I'll argue for.

P.S. I am not opposed to a better internet than what we had but for that there are changes needed to the rest of the world that won't come any time soon, otherwise what we had was the ideal version.
