In fact, there isn’t much difference, because the modern internet has become consolidated since the mobile internet era, and any content with significant traffic is essentially based on existing platforms. Therefore, optimizing new website approvals is no longer very meaningful for the government.
Small teams and small websites have largely died out anyway. If it’s just a simple implementation, it can be hosted under other websites. After all, the internet’s trend has always been centralization, and independent websites themselves won’t have traffic. Therefore, if an independent website has no traffic but insists on operating, its probability of being illegal is naturally high, and it’s quite normal to screen them.
What you’re talking about is basically dead. It’s well known that things with zero viewership have little meaning. The mobile internet has long since killed these off, and what’s left are things that are hard to define.
Things that don’t need to be seen by people don’t need a website. The reality is that the niche for independent websites has already been occupied by smaller sites under large platforms. What you’re talking about is long dead; there’s no need to waste energy on a corpse. After all, a post-oversight system would incur much higher financial costs, and taxpayers’ money isn’t for wrestling with a corpse.
My point is that the model is a relic of the previous internet generation, and as such, it’s largely obsolete. The contemporary mobile internet model is inherently unfriendly to small websites, so one shouldn’t invest in things that have been rendered obsolete by the times.
Now, innovation is either completed by enterprises or by open-source communities, both of which already have their own major websites. The era of pure individual creators has long passed.
My point is that new small websites are no longer needed, as the internet has become consolidated. Independent personal creations are now highly reliant on communities and existing platforms. The ‘wild west’ era of the internet is long gone, so there’s largely no need to consider it anymore.
“集约化”的脆弱性 vs “蛮荒”的生命力
一个完全集约化的系统，就像一个把所有鸡蛋都放在一个篮子里的生态。它看似高效，实则极其脆弱。平台的一个决策失误、一次商业转型、甚至一次服务器宕机，都可能导致无数依附于它的创作者和社区瞬间覆灭。
而那个“蛮荒时代”的特点是什么？是反脆弱性。无数个独立节点自生自灭，一个倒下了，其他的还在。这种看似混乱的生态，拥有最强大的生命力和演化能力。
A recurring characteristic of technological development across different fields is that, while initial innovators in a given field may be individuals, it inevitably becomes a collective effort later on. This implies that consolidation is inevitable. Therefore, management models should also assume that there is more than one person behind any website, and any organized group inherently has a purpose. Consequently, either a part of the open-source community relies on existing websites to demonstrate their security using open-source platforms, or they must be registered.
My point is that current technology no longer supports individual development, so it’s impossible for a meaningful website to be the work of just one person.
