Hobbyists and enthusiasts do not scale to ~3 billion people.

  Neither do most other things done by hobbyists. I don't understand what you're saying. The only things that are good enough to do are those that scale to 3 billion people?

    I am saying, if you want a web by and for hobbyists and enthusiasts, billions of people has to be excluded. Where do you think new hobbyists come from?

      I don't think lack of participation is the same thing as "exclusion". Bird watching is another enthusiast hobby. Anyone can do it. But not everyone wants to.

        It seems clear at this point that several billions of people want to use the web, not just hobbyists.
