Honestly, I think watching in real time as platforms like Facebook and Twitter grimly foreclosed on the creative and experimental possibilities of the early internet was a large factor in my radicalization.
Such a good point. Myspace had people learning to code with html. Even people who would copy and paste pre-built pages/designs for their myspace could figure out how to edit out or in certain things since html is incredibly accessible to a curious mind.
DO NOT miss the auto-playing music though. Also it sucked major ass when the RIAA decided they're gonna ruin people's pages because they used a 32kbit quadrupled compressed song that sounded like garbage and striked em down.
