Where did all the microsites go?

As a kid, I used to love exploring the Internet. It felt like a game of “what is the most bizarre, interesting, funny website that I can find?”

With the rise of social media and recommendation algorithms, and the death of web hosting services like Geocities, the Internet changed. I think many of us are sensing this “sameness” of the the current web, as more folks are drawn to websites like Are.na. I wonder what place folk programming has in the next era of the Internet.
