With how the internet is constantly changing for the worse when it comes to censorship, what do you think it'll be like in 15 years time? From the previous 15 years the internet has changed a lot and more-so than ever governments are taking very active control. In some countries even a tweet that is an unpopular opinion can see yourself getting a criminal record and time behind bars. When things started it wasn't even about big corps, yet look how google has taken over so much and made everything about money, placing their ads all over the web and buying youtube. Then with Youtube deleting videos that they just don't agree with. As an oldcel i even enjoyed using Webrings until that was bought by Yahoo and then shut down mostly.
Anyway, I find it hard to believe that websites that host non-normie opinions won't slowly be wiped out as 'hate sites'. Of course censorship doesn't make people like us disappear, and likely other ways to exist will be created, slowly going further and further underground. Free speech online scares governments looking to police our thoughts and the things we can see. I can see big issues arising from this one day when it gets to the point where even incels.is won't be able to exist openly. An internet that is controlled by the same logic of reddit.
