Slop is Good

The web has always been built on trust.

TCP/IP, HTTP(S), DNS, HTML, CSS, and many other protocols along the chain are the medium. And the medium is the message. Trust is at the core. The message of slop goes against the grain of the medium of the open web.

The human component of the web won’t change. People will need answers that they can trust. Folks on the web are also resourceful; they always have been.

It’s humans trusting humans all the way down. We’ll build new networks of reliable information we can trust. Or, to quote the world’s most reputable chaotician Dr. Ian Malcolm: “life finds a way.”
