I remember dialing up in 1994 when the internet enabled any entity - from General Electric and Sears Robuck to the corner store and even individual citizens like me - have a website. The internet was pretty flat and evenly distributed.
Then Google appeared around 1998, Facebook around 2004, YouTube 2005, Twitter 2007…gradually a handful of corporatized destinations became the internet.
The hope and vision now is that protocols like Nostr and sovereign personal servers (that are user-friendly and plug and play) all glued together by the economic stack that is bitcoin, will decentralize the internet again.
