  Great question. I wasn't trying to list all of the benefits of a decentralized web, just some reasons why people are more ready for the shift. There are many other benefits. Some that come to mind: * lack of government or corporate control, making it difficult to censor * increased security by distributing data warehouses so hackers can't steal all your data in one place * cheaper infrastructure needs for startups and businesses by spreading the load out across the network Some more aspirational benefits that have been discussed before are creating a self-healing and self-archiving network since distributed systems require some level of redundancy. There are many other benefits, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
