"Then you will see it is not the paperclip that bends…

It is only yourself."

For sure… Non-decentralized social media has value created by the immense number of connections and content created.

It also has the risk of abusing those connections and making the network less valuable by a centralized decision to clog it with paid content… Which alienates users and makes the experience less efficient.

Facebook did it, reddit is doing it, Twitter is trying to do it. The move is almost inevitable.

Decentralize it and it takes almost all potential greed out of the equation so the network stays most valuable to users.
