MY "WHY"

I hate today's internet.

I miss how it used to be before algorithms ruled our days. When we'd call it the World Wide Web, The Information Highway. The screech of a dial-up modem. Oh, the future was going to be so bright.

But here we are. "Going online" is rarely a fun activity now that AI slop is oozing out of every platform.

Alas, I can only control myself, so I'm here to use my platform to share what I've learned about creating and consuming smarter content... right here in my very own, algorithm-free space. Welcome <3
