Bittorrent, multiple file sharing protocols, and other distributed peer-to-peer systems and are doing very well.
Email lost because spam is an extremely difficult problem and because large email providers decided to become an oligopoly and shut off smaller providers.
- manuelmoreale 4y agoEmail lost? What do you mean by lost? Email is still here some 50+ years since its invention and it’s used everywhere across the globe.
- rvz 4y agoThe point is it lost because Joe and Jane doesn't want to spin up their own email server even though they can. But even if they did, once Gmail and Outlook block them in their spam filters they have just been de-federated from the billions of accounts to send emails to, let alone fight the mountains of spam going on in email. So the biggest providers have won and email, with centralization.
