    money, marketing, planned obsolescence, proprietary products and forcing people to buy, pay or subscribe to your company

    everything digital is becoming simple, easy, standard and capable of being replicated by anyone … which completely threatens established billion dollar companies that rely on their expensive products.

    Our digital future should be amazing but its all going to be bottlenecked by the greed of a few major corporations that want to make as much money as possible by sacrificing technological progress

      There are whole swatches of the population who think Facebook IS the internet, ever since they added that in app browser. They buy a phone, install Facebook, and that’s the end of their understanding of tech or the web.

      Even now as the monopolization of the web is causing issues for everyone, people look at me like I’m dumb for self hosting certain things and avoiding Facebook.
