So you say we should give up on independent journalism and only let bots on Google news post important infos. I mention Google news to provoke because Mozilla has no own news network that comes close. I am not even telling something new here, the own community came up with ideas for social networks, email systems, news systems - not pocket btw, vpn systems, etc pp. Things Google successfully established. There are also drawbacks like Google+ but you cannot always win. You need to know when its best to review you options and cut things when they become a burden.

I’m saying the web as it is should burn.

..... impressive solution....

Why are you just pivoting into "Mozilla bad" and summarizing Google projects? What are you even talking about?

And yes, the web should burn. If it cannot exist without squeezing money out of people and generally being abusive, it should not exist.

Wishful thinking, this would be in a Star Trek world, believe me I also want such a world too but reality is people are selfish, egoistic, ignorant and god knows what... The whole NFT thing showed us clearly, to name one example ... this is what the web cares about .... not idealism or good faith and wishes...

Lets assume you are disabled, your only option is to make money over the web ... what then .. so your logic here cannot be applied, you want that this person starves to death rather than make some cash or what ...

Everything has downsides, always..
