@mnl @Miniver It is the idea of a business model that is the problem. That’s not what we started the Internet for. And I apologize for my early contributions to the commercialization of the Internet. We were sure we were building better world, but were naive to think that it wouldn’t be usurped by the oligarchs.
The next version should be non-commercial, distributed, and person-to-person. Let’s build it.

If we do not turn the tech stacks into public utilities like this, Metcalfe’s Law and other winner-take-all dynamics will give us neo-feudalism instead: all of us dependent on a narrow oligarchy who own and control the resources which we depend upon.
