It still can be amazing, more amazing than it was in the 90s. You could make a website this afternoon and host it on your phone. But ~nobody can be bothered, because easier centralised platforms exist.

The problem, if you want to call it that, is purely social/cultural.

Have you ever heard of Geocities?

It’s the first revolutionary technology that his first goal is to make money for VC investors instead of really change the world, the perceived benefit for society is just a sub-product of the ponzi scheme behind those VC firms.

100 percent. The same thing happened with the "Internet". It was amazing when it first started getting popular with the first web browsers in the 90s. There was so much potential with it.

Now look what's happened to the Internet.

1M km (Tm?) is less than 750k miles, for those more familiar with customary units.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irv_Gordon had a Volvo with over 3.25 million miles (5.2Tm), although it's also had 3 engine rebuilds.

"Customary units"? I hate to break it to you, but most of the world uses the metric system.

And the conversion is actually fairly simple. 1M km is 600k miles, so you were in the ballpark.
