there's an entire community of people making simple websites on places like neocities. You don't find "web development" a drag, you find making a website for some company you don't give a shit about a drag (as you should).
replyNothing to stop you doing simple little websites.
replyThat is the internet I want to see again: people making their own little websites with questionable design choices about whatever topics they're passionate about. I'm willing to tolerate blink tags and animated gifs for this.
replyIt’s all still there but you’re going to have to find it just like the “good old days”. No algorithm is going to push it to you, you’re going to have to spend the effort.
replyCheck out Kagi small web.
replyIt’s just much harder getting paid for that…
replyThe point is that it was fun to make it for yourself, about anything you're passionate about. There was never a pay calculation because you did it on your own, because you wanted to.
