Here's a totally off-the-cuff pitch for the web: I just want to be able to load a webpage from a swarm by leeching, and then click an "I approve" button if it looks non-sketchy and I want to seed the page. I want to bookmark magnet links to make human-readable URLs and allow collisions between actual names/content to be decided socially (e.g. click to accept a new version of this page from this new swarm). I don't want a bunch of new protocols. No for domain names or donations. No vibe-coded corporate-sponsored AI BS. No repos. Just give me the wild west with everything visible and no default seeding so that bad actors don't bother with it so much. Run it through a or something if you want privacy.
