I’ve been using the web before it was the Internet that spawned outside of the university systems here in the US.
I became a web developer and spent almost two decades in this field.
There is one overarching aspect of websites that keeps people coming back and engaged.
Namely, high quality content. The search engine algorithms are written to find it. The humans that use the Internet want it.
That’s true! I’m not a techie and always forget Hacker News exists haha
Thanks for the reminder on keeping content diverse more than aiming for a single approach!
