There are a lot of small websites on the Internet: Interesting websites, beautiful websites, unique websites. Unfortunately they are incredibly hard to find. You cannot find them on Google or Reddit, and while you can stumble onto them with my search engine, it is not in a very directed fashion. It is an unfortunate state of affairs. Even if you do not particularly care for becoming the next big thing, it’s still discouraging to put work into a website and get next to no traffic beyond the usual bots.

    Would this also be the keystone to preventing AI from “owning everything”?

    Shit tons of original work self-hosted and self-copyrighted would disallow AI (pending current and future rulings) from having ownership of the original works these websites provide.

    Ive heard rumblings of an “Angelfire Reboot” or “GeoCities 2.0” emerging in recent years, and I assume that’s akin to what is being discussed, yeah?
