## What Jamie wrote

I love this.

> Most websites today are built like commercial products by professionals and marketers, optimised to draw the largest audience, generate engagement and 'convert'. But there is also a smaller, less-visible web designed by regular people to simply to share their interests and hobbies with the world. A web that is unpolished, often quirky but often also fun, creative and interesting.

This is what all of the web used to be like. Let's keep it alive. This is what I feel like I’m doing with [my own website](https://www.thingelstad.com).
