- echelon 6y agoThat's not a counter argument to what I've said. It's a platitude that I think everyone agrees on. You don't even need to conjure "magical disappearance". Social networks often come and go as fads. YikYak, Snapchat, TikTok. The thesis of what I said is that P2P mechanics are largely invariant of and shielded from business decisions, social mores, etc. We should consider building more P2P things.
