So instead of accelerating progress we get one monopoly every 20 years (and some people splitting their attention, and friendship groups, and exposure to surveillance, between multiple incompatible sites).
That's not as reassuring as you might think it is.
- cwp 5y agoI wouldn't call it reassuring, but it is the pattern so far. What gives me hope is that we don't have a single unassailable monopoly. Instead, we get a chance, every five years or so, to choose something better. We just might figure out how to deal with this.
