“…to actually separate infrastructure owners from the service providers…” is the crux of it, but what could also be done on the opposite end, rather than constantly screaming at the castle walls, is for the tech sector to once again emphasize efficient code and data.
I do not know the exact nature, but from my years of experience and living the growth of tech and the internet, all I have witnessed to this day is ever increasing sloppiness and waste of resources, bandwidth, and computation.
There should be a framework for, at the very least, to build websites and services that are bandwidth efficient. Here’s the challenge … How do we get to a place where the evaluation and value determination is incentivized to be efficient computation and bandwidth?
The rather obvious start may be the inherent connection to “climate change”; all this waste of resources, computation, and bandwidth is immensely energy intensive.
There have been posts on YN about low data or bandwidth sites, how do we get that initiative to the the primary measure of success, not, e.g., wasteful and sloppy design and “experiences”?

As an example, I was checking bandwidth usage of the apps on my phone, and standing out near the top with over 200 MB was my Tim Horton's app. My usage is simply scanning a QR code when I go there a few times a week. The app also receives special offers that are updated weekly. I'm not sure how they manage to inflate that to 200 MB in a month of usage.
