I say "hate to admit" because I'm very much a proponent of decentralized services, and wish for more people to use them...but i guess like others my optimism might blind me a tad to the realities of typical/common user behaviors (and expectations), as well as the reasons and sources of those behaviors (and expectations). I guess users of decentralized services can continue to "throw their own parties", but it might mean not everyone will ever go to said parties. Ah well.
- sanderjd 10y ago> it might mean not everyone will ever go to said parties It only means that as long as people think "better" technology is the answer. I think the answer, if it comes, will be in the form of a new take on the incentive structures ("economics") involved, which will probably require some new technology, but will not be driven by it. It isn't a hopeless battle, it just isn't one that will be won with technology alone.
