I made a post about this a while back, pointing out things that fundamentally need to change about the internet so we can get back to the "good old days."
Those days cannot come back. The reason why is simply this: It is valuable, and so people are going to try and exploit it for economic gain. Period.
The only real way to make it work is to take a few steps backward down the technology tree. I'm being quite serious that we'd solve a lot of spam issues if we went back to basic phone calls or even telegraph machines. If people had to be selective about how they place calls and receive calls. Limit the number of possible connections, that sort of thing.
What about the tor and onion project? Cant' just about anyone host their webpages through a tor network without having to register domains or play with bureaucracy?
