Renting a webspace and putting up some random HTMLs or PHPs hasn't gotten more difficult. And some people do it too. You can still just put up a phpbb on a free webhoster. Many of the 20+ year old websites & forums are still around.

The corporate web has won based on convenience, appeal and psychologic trickery not by killing off the old web.

And in my opinion, socialist governments should take advantage of this new centralized structure and force corpos to invite wild culture into these large structures

What is wild culture? And in what sense is it unwelcome in social media?

The music on on the radio, the food in the chain restaurant -- those are all too popular for the girl in the old-lady rags.""She prefers a fantasy world -- an infraculture with its own dress code and vernacular. It is an illusion, I'm afraid. There is no refuge from the supraculture."YOU - "I understand everything. Make it more complicated somehow.'+5 XP: gained experience.JOYCE MESSIER - "I can't. That's how simple it is. One may dye their hair green and wear their grandma's coat all they want. Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would critique capital end up reinforcing it instead..."She pauses to take a long, leisurely sip$

Wild culture in this case means the culture of the internet that was present before the Adpocalypse, where you could do things that are now deemed "brand-unsafe" without risking your livelihood

If you don't make your money as the online equivalent of a walking billboard you don't really have to worry about that.

Could you give an example of this brand-unsafe behavior? I meant to ask before, but I'm still unclear reading through how the thread has progressed on what "wild culture" means.
