I recently read this quote, which I love:
Across streaming, posting, and podcasting, it is now widely understood that the purpose of streaming, posting, or podcasting is to attract attention and then convert that attention into money.
— Patrick Redford, Defector Magazine
I'm not guided by this here, it should be obvious, and that tilde.green and other tildes are full of folks also not guided by this.
I really want to set up some digital Commonplace books as I see where the web is going: Closed off, pay-walled, mobile-app requiring, register-and-login-to-see. My collected bookmarks for recipe and article links are disappearing behind these walls, such that the distributed promise of the WWW seems to have curdled under all the monetization and eye-ball having. So I am going to start copy/pasting what I find (and linking it still) so to ensure its availability to *me*.
