I've noticed with the Internet dying aka Social Medias making poor choices. I have noticed an increase in people making their own websites again. Not just with smaller site makers like Neocities but even larger ones like Squarespace or even making their own sites from scratch with HTML. Mostly artist and Independent musicians who are getting butt fucked algorithmically on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Especially on Instagram as of recently. Once single places to interact with fans and getting your work out there is being thrown away for corporate interest.
I have noticed a lot of Artist and Independent Musicians I follow have made their own websites now. Yes they still have Certain Social media but now it seems like more than ever the Internet is fracturing into a more DIY Internet again. I never thought I would see RSS readers making a comeback but, recently I have seen some people starting to use them again. Which make sense since a Centralized internet seems to be coming to an end soon with Places like Twitter and Reddit already falling apart. I never thought I would see so many people push for more Early Internet UIs that is fast and snappy instead of this bloat flat boring UIs we have now
Maybe just maybe this Collapse of centralized Social Media is the kick in the pants the internet needs again to go back to its DIY roots.
Edit: I noticed that a lot of new kind of small social media sites are allowing CSS and HTML again. Like example Spacehey but apparently place like CoHost allow it and carrd allows CSS. Further solidifying that the old net and diy internetcore is making a comback.

i´m out here making the site i wish i could´ve made when i was kid, excpet i know know html these days
Yeah freaking HTML I use to know a lot of it but lost that knowledge over the decade since Facebook got popular and every website stopped allowing CSS and HTML. I am relearning HTML but I feel like I am getting too old to retain the knowledge of what code does what.

Musicians have always been encouraged to make their own website I tried it once and even tried making a fan site for practice the fan site last I knew was a dead domain (and when it wasn't the attempt was still a failure as the only thing i could get it to do is load an image) and the actual attempted website didn't get far enough to have a public domain provided i was really young when I attempted this but I think it shows how difficult website creation actually is to those who don't really know what they're doing especially considering i was working through godaddy (I'm sure the infrastructure is better than it was back then now) as for html sites they've always been very common people just haven't been adventurous enough to find them one of my favs i found around 2012 to 2014 otaku.com (I haven't checked in in a bit last i knew the site was under attack) I found it as an alternative to deviantart but used it more so as an anime alternative to buzzfeed as in most of my time was spent in the quizzes there I recognize the comment box though as this site's bulletin page which is why I know it ran on html provided they locked us out of writing any code in favor of the simple mode of posting which at most allowed emojis colored text spoiler tags and pictures oh and hyperlinks but nothing else
interesting. I am trying to relearn HTML things have changed a lot since 2006 when I css AND html my MySpace page back then. If you check out my Neocities I did get help from a friend to make that site which is simple and still under construction because I'm an idiot that don't know how to make a site anymore. I use to have a Webs.com website back in the late 2000s I used to show news and stuff on there I did. I am considering using Squarespace to make a site tho I am wondering if it's worth it. I don't quite know yet.

oh god GoDaddy I haven't heard that name in such a long time. I am wondering if Squarespace site editing would allow me to make a site that looks like a website from the early 2000s
