Or I think you know, users are going to have to get over themselves because they are currently going from centralized platform to centralized platform to supposedly decentralized platform. Eventually, maybe one day they will figure out that platforms do not work and protocols are what people should be using.

I get what you say, and I agree; but when it comes to the average user I wonder if they'll even get it. They don't think on the grounds of a "protocol" or a "platform", it used to be "site" and now "app". They do it even with email, of all things, even if it's one of the oldest cross-platform protocols out there!

The average user is hopping from phone app to phone app, following their favourite interner celebrity. They don't care about the rest.

Meanwhile, VC backed businesses can buy internet celebrities, and on the cheap.

Humanity is doomed because that means that eventually we're going to have Kim Kardashian as president. We might as well evacuate the Titanic while there are still lifeboats around to do so.
