This was problematic too. Centralisation is never good in the long-term. Surely, we would have learned that from traditional media, AWS outages or autocratic structures. Humanity as so much to learn still
- bombcar 11mo agoCentralized marketplaces can work, but it’s hard to maintain those (there is one Centralized Internet, not many various internets, for example). A subscription service that “covers all” like we usually get with music would be quite nice, even if it was only “older” shows after a year or so.

Companies and countries are doing their darnedest to break the Internet up into separate, smaller networks.
