Just my 0.02$ but I don’t see this happening. One, the content rights of media would preclude meaningful distribution and content addresses of commercial media, which is what most care about. After 2023, I think it’s far more likely that generalized human knowledge is captured in an LLM to (somewhat accurately) spew out. That LLM would be distributed and localized - Google already wants to ship a small LLM on each phone.
I also don’t see global pub/sub - I think that’s just too many trade-offs for real use cases. Latency/partition-ability etc. I do see everyone’s smarthome/phone ecosystem providing a basic and localized event service.
The pendulum does seem to be swinging back to local-first, but I think that will mean personal-scale not web scale.
