Browsers are leading slower and slower

That's because of heavy use of JavaScript and frameworks like React. Websites like Facebook are a nightmare to deal with.

++ social media has killed personal blogs. Which is one of the biggest losses to me.

I just started a personal blog as my small contribution to combat Dead Internet Theory. I'm not going to link it here because I don't want to doxx myself

Yea, the creation of sites like neocities is such a fun return to oldweb and the joys of relearning html and creating a static site. And tools like Jekyll for generating and maintaining your own blog are great
