Perhaps the platform era caused us to lose track of what a Web site was for. The good ones are places you might turn to several times per day or per week for a select batch of content that pointedly is not everything. Going there regularly is a signal of intention and loyalty: instead of passively waiting for social feeds to serve you what to read, you can seek out reading materials—or videos or audio—from sources you trust.
I think it’s becoming clear that publishers have to be a destination, and solve curation, discoverability and everything else that entails, to survive in the post-platform era. Just like back in the pre-platform era.
