Why is it impossible to trust someone? It's not impossible, its just very very unlikely in the context of current economic realities. Those that are currently begrudgingly trusted have time and time again proven themselves so untrustworthy that debates on Hacker News are about not about if, but how thoroughly they should be able to fuck the end user over and justify it with "because money". With sufficient transparency and checks/balances, wouldn't a partially centralized internet be acceptable? Finding an alternative seems like the path of less resistance. The people running the checks and balances have proven themselves only interested in the money of the untrustworthy above and their own intrusiveness.
