While I agree for centralized services. I think In the end all information will be accessible and searchable. Since the beginning of the written word, there’s been an exponential expansion of information. Scrolls, book, news papers, radio, TV, internet, etc.
So in terms of infrastructure, I think a way to tap into and share information regardless of restraint will be the end result. It would need to be cheap, impossible to censor, searchable and able to easily hide access devices / methods. to said system.
I see crypto currencies as the initial stages of this.
- water-your-self 5y agoI completely disagree. We see a continuing trend of consolidation and obfuscation. Most social media hides and scatters information intentionally to absorb user time, theres no value in providing information quickly and accessibly. I fear Google becoming worse is also by design as well. Its only time until they introduce their own infinite scroll.

For a long time, radio was viewed as a dying form of communication, until TV started censoring large sections of what people wanted to listen to. Then you had the rise of people like Limbaugh, Jones, stern, etc The reality is people seek the truth when they know they’re being lied to. Very few people in the west trust news https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2022/04/05/trust-media-2022-where-americans-get-news-poll https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/20... Part of the issue with Google, etc has to do with the “Trusted News Initiative”. I definitely agree the trend will continue. However, once an innovation with then properties I described can occur it will dominate.
