Assertion Supported

Andreessen: The World Wide Web gained one page daily in early 1993

“In early 93, it was like one new website a day. And by the way, by one new website, I don't mean like one new website. I don't mean like a new eBay a day or something. I mean like a new web page.”

Opinion

Rampell: The web is full of SEO-optimized junk content

“The world wide web is unhealthy right now. Most of the things on the internet are crap, and they're crap, and we know that they're crap, but they SEO optimized crap, so how do you decrapify that?”
