What I feel like many people miss in this argument is that there's still currently no reason for the vast majority of people to want or care about the future being decentralized. Not only does majority of the population think companies like Facebook aren't manipulating them (these people will claim they're manipulating the "other side"), but even the people that do realize that Facebook is manipulating them don't care. They find the ads useful, and enjoy the recommended videos. They'll watch The Social Dilemma and go right back to browsing Twitter. There's still no good reason that anyone outside of a technical audience holding certain ethical beliefs would want something other than a decentralized system. Most individuals don't care about being their own bank, for example. In my eyes, the only way the future becomes decentralized is through a massive change in the fabric that makes up much of the developed world.
