Thanks for reporting back about what is discussed in the rest of the article. I still think the author is confused about two different things: popularity and centralisation. The issue is not that now, a bunch of very few popular services is where most of online activity happens, the issue is that these services have access to users’ data and privacy, by design, and most of all, they are not censorship resistant.

>the author is confused about two different things: popularity and centralisation. I strongly disagree. the author has noted the connection between popularity and centralization and points out its impressive drawbacks. The pluses are disruptive corporate profitability, the minus makes Church and Pike look like Tuskegee. Or maybe the other way around.
