> The internet added<canvas />, but the internet stopped being one.

Wow, well stated. I particularly miss just seeing more original content written by people's personal experiences. Now, it seems like any Google search results in bloat-ware sites with a ton of journalistic fluff around a few data points that came out on a news wire.

I personally have some hope in the Gemini protocol returning some value to this space. It doesn't quite fit the "internet as a canvas" model, being text based with only links to images, but I think there is a lot of potential to bring more interesting content to the forefront again.
