The reason the web is a rotting carcass is not because of the way the web is architected, it is because a lot of people's livelihoods depend on making it as rotten as possible without collapsing it entirely.

From advertising companies, search engines (ok, sometimes both), certificate peddlers and other 'service' (I use the term lightly here) providers there are just too many of these maggots that we don't actually need. We mostly need them to manage the maggots! If they would all fuck off the web would instantly be a better place.



Who do you propose needs to fuck off in order for the web to not need certificate authorities?
