- Ben Thompson describes the public internet model as dying from too much content and algorithmic aggregators.
- AI vulnerabilities compound the pressures from content and aggregation, and Thompson says the transition may bring new possibilities.
Why it matters: Ben Thompson’s own blog, begun in summer 2003, makes the stakes concrete: content overload, algorithmic aggregators and AI vulnerabilities now weigh on the public internet model he once used. What changes materially is not simply the model’s decline; Thompson places new possibilities in the same transition.
