THE WEB IS A CREATIVE INDUSTRY AND IS FACING THE SAME DECLINE AND SHATTERED ECONOMICS AS FILM, TV, OR PUBLISHING

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

The creative and web developer job markets are struggling, with many working for free on passion projects or facing job losses due to generative models. Both industries suffer from poor management, leading to unsustainable practices. There's a need to focus on serving end-users directly and creating sustainable, independent projects rather than relying on unstable industry trends.
