1.The Web Is For Individuals and Communites: The web is made to be personal and for connections, not a place of corporate culture. You build your own website from scratch. There are no Elon Musks of neocities, and there never should be. monopolies and "influencers" should not exist in a place made for individuality. creativity should not be limited, it is powerful, it is protest.

2.The Web is Radical: The web is a place for protest, a place for expression. Everything is political, so everything must also be radical, creation is protest, radicality and creation are the first steps to protest.

3.Monetization & Paywalls: While people should be able to make money off of their creative works, in terms of things like Ads or AI; monetization is wrong. There should be no paywall on creativity. There should be no bottom-feeding of creatives by corporations. Most AI's used by these corporations are unfairly trained off of a creative's work without their permission and often without out telling them or mentioning it very quietly.

4. Manual until it hurts: This is not encessarily something all people should do, but a value I have and something I follow. "Manual until it hurts" is an idea that it is better to do most things manually as automation will waste the time you could've spent doing it manually. I believe in another meaning of this aswell, that you should use small automations because without learning to do it manually you aren't really learning to do it. Like learning to drive but the car is self-driving. This also applies to AI.
