"the P2P community established something like a tiny, lightweight communist bubble"
Yes, and that's the core of the problem. Things are pretty limited when the premise is "donating spare hardware and bandwidth."
"[Web3 follows] a heavyweight libertarian path: Everything should be monetized."
I don't know what these people think. Only traditional companies should be allowed to make money, and the rest of the world should donate their resources?
The conclusion of this piece sounds a bit arbitrary too.
P2P failed in the past because of the lack of monetization.
Web3 tries to solve this by adding monetization at the protocol level.
Adding something to a system to solve an issue that wasn't solved before can add complexity.
The author doesn't like complexity, so it's a failed attempt.
What?
