We'll build our own internet! With blackjack and hookers!
More seriously, I see echoes of the gentrification cycle. At the end of the cycle nobody wants to live in the soulless corporate hellscape they've helped create, so they follow the cool kids to the next up-and-coming neighbourhood. It works for social media sites, so why not for an entire protocol?
If you can figure out a protocol where ads don't work, I'm in.

- flir 3y agoI don't believe so. But I also believe that's the root of the problems with the current web. I believe that wherever we go, marketers will follow us. But wouldn't it be great if I was wrong...
