That stance is incredibly naive. Seriously if the FANGs of the world can literally spend billions to keep you addicted to their content do you think it makes an ounce of difference that you can publish your blog on port 443?
- detourdog 3y agoIt does to me. I don't know why you think FANGs have any effect on technology I may work on. If the world can maintain access to each other directly over 80 and 443 than people who value narrowcasting over broadcasting can freely ignore the FANGs. ISPs on the other hand can be sneaky.
- Nevermark 3y ago> people who value narrowcasting over broadcasting can freely ignore the FANGs It is very difficult and costly in time or other resources for most people and businesses to "ignore the FANGs" Parasitical businesses are generally not just parasitical. They balance providing real value with how much they can extract, in complex ways. People who want other people to watch their high quality content want to be found by as many people as would benefit from their content. So they post on Youtube which gets them their audience, but now they are helping Youtube funnel their viewers to trash content and to be surveilled. It is all a sticky rat's nest.
