I've said this before, but maybe pretending the entire Internet is equal to 5 apps from mega corps (largely fueled by pretend money) wasn't the best long term play?
Who would have thought?
The problem is that most of the usable, visible, Web is equal to that. Google & Microsoft control most of what we see. Pinterest controls image access. Meta drives engagement to companies, and Reddit drives linkouts. Twitter handles most major news sources. Occasionally there's a chance that StackOverflow or Quora put in a word or two.
Society leads us to ever larger communities. Corporations just make profit based on human behavior.
