There Was Never 'Web 2.0', So There Cannot be 'Web 3' and the Future of the Web Doesn't Look Good

On the Internet, the share of the World Wide Web relative to other protocols is waning (partly due to mobile platforms) and one must adapt or perish

In Light of Fast-Accelerating Deterioration -- Sometimes Weaponisation -- Getting Off the World Wide Web (to the Extent Feasible) Makes You Saner and Less Susceptible to Manipulation, Lies

Black Friday SPAM on the World Wide Web: A Reminder That the Web is a Dying Platform, Languishing Due to Marketing and Misinformation
