Not sure if you meant it this way, but Walled garden usually means ‘Closed Platform’, like a way to trap users. But the video is encouraging the construction of websites that can easily be self-hosted, which is the opposite of a walled garden.

It’s claiming they can be self-hosted, certainly. But they’re also claiming this is some kind of “Web Revival”. Do you know anyone who is building neocities sites and self-hosting them, much less getting any meaningful amount of traffic on their self-hosted websites?

My friends aren’t the type to build websites at all, but there’s plenty of self hosted simple web 2.0 sites that get decent traffic, such as Low Tech Magazine (mentioned in the video).
