Here's an open letter about Tim's view on the dysfunction that affects the web today.

The BBC did an interview with him too
> after a good first 15 years, things had turned bad and a "mid-course correction" was needed.
He's optimistic such a correction will occur. I hope I'm that uncynical when I'm his age.
Yes hurrah for the internet! And I can’t wait until the next 30 years when we get to witness the birth of even more tedious crypto currencies with wackier names, I get to stress about my kids seeing Momo, and Facebook start tracking my bowel movements to know when I should next see a Domino’s ad. Thanks Tim! (HTTP 417)
While there are reasons to complain about the current state of the internet, it _is_ an achievement of mankind which has transformed the world in many ways.

Happy Birth-day little sub-domain... Happy Birthday to you!
Being nitpicky: The www. subdomain is not required at all ;D

I am absolutely not sure what to do about any of this, it is almost as if there is a mutual exclusionary principle between a free and open communications network and the eventual success which will then doom that network to become non-free and non-open. Very frustrating all this.
Yesterday I couldn’t read an ancient Greek text on Project Gutenberg because I’m from Germany. Two days ago I couldn’t read an article on an US news site because I’m from Europe. The “WW” in “WWW” is a joke.
Blame that US site and its advertisers for trying to harvest your data for advertisers.
Thank you for adopting The Greatest language:JavaScript .I hope to achieve a certain level of fluency in Javascript that it becomes first language of my children.
Thank you for helping us reinvent operating systems and name them web browsers just to be able to render your standards and connect to you with our hearts, over http of course.
Thank you for enabling communications and freedom all around the world .Now I can ease my mind knowing that Google predicts when I die and would show adequate coffin ads to my family weeks before the incident.
Happy birthday.

That's down to the EU forcing that site to protect your privacy, which that US site can't be bothered with. Nothing to do with the WWW as a technology. Blame that US site and its advertisers for trying to harvest your data for advertisers.
