The book of faesces requires zero effort to maintain and update. No need to worry about having the latest version of whatever content management you’re using. Just click and post. Any HR and Marketing droid can do it.

Websites need proper maintenance, updates, money and capable personell to work flawlessly.
We’ve seen the effect when companies thought they could do it on the cheap by hiring a certain web elf …

I think it’s why a lot of webshops tend to have the same backend as well (Shopify appears to be very popular).

It’s a damned shame how folk within the industry take websites for granted, because that means they set themselves up for even bigger disasters once Zuckerberg & co decide to change the terms of the agreement. I’ve seen far too many ‘mistakes’ / ‘incidents’ to consider them to be reliable for anything. And I’m using air quotes, because I believe they do it on purpose whenever it benefits them.

We’d have to see a world class catastroph before people give up on the big social media sites though. Far too many addicts out there that don’t understand how much of their privacy they have given to big tech. Never mind the negativity that social media websites in general tend to feed upon.

I hope to get some time to organise my hobby room as well as unpack what hobby gear I’ve got from the various boxes.
