This meme is getting out of hand. Yes, JWTs may be inappropriate compared to putting a session id in a cookie, but there are many uses for JWTs outside of web app session handling. There are a couple serious implementation pitfalls to be aw

And this is important because the author misses the point as to why people get value from the "middlemen" -- to find stuff. Even with a content-centered web, there will be a need to find content and people, and new discovery engin
