“Why would anybody start a website?”

To put a pin on the question about making a website, I guess I’d say… if you have ideas bigger than the 280~500 characters limit? A website. If you make non-portrait videos longer than two-minutes? A website. If you make images bigger than the 1280x720 summary card? A website. You throwing an event and need to communicate details but not everyone has Facebook accounts? A website. You want to eschew the algorithmic popularity game? A website (with RSS). You want to take part in the rewilding your attention movement? A website (with RSS). You want to own your own content? A website. You want to be an anti-capitalist? A website (with RSS). If you want to be a capitalist too, I guess? A website (with a paywall). You want to be anonymous? A website. You want to “share what you know”? A website.

Love this post by Dave and yeah, a website may not make you money but it’s so awesome to be able to put what you want in the format you want out on the web.
