Yes there are plenty of people that don't want a fancy web. Some by
choice, some because of reasons beyond their control. But at the same
time there is an equally large number of people that either want all
of the fancy stuff or never really thought about it and are fine with
it either way. The web is a very big place, and as much as you do not
want to be forced to watch this, I do not want to be told we can't do
it because you can't use it, (or just don't want to) Neither side of
this argument should dictate to the other what the web should be
like. The only logical, and fair way to control the web is to not
control it. Let the free market deal with the issue.
I believe in the greed of humans in general. If a site in a
particular format (fancy or not) would be profitable, then someone
will build it. I have absolutely no doubt of this. We don't need a
law to govern this. An open market that allows people to profit from
it is all that is needed.
You and I will probably never agree what the perfect web would be
like. And neither you nor I should be able to dictate to the other
how they have to use the web. If a particular site does not please
one of us, then complain, leave, go to a competitor, what ever. We
can ask the site owner to change, but do not dictate to the site owner
he HAS to change his site to accommodate one of us.
