The internet is way too centralized.

[ViceOfBTC21]

So we can officially say internet became way too centralized.
Gallery? Use Instagram.
Communication? Only Facebook.
Microblog? Twitter.
Videos? YouTube.
Search engine? Google.
If any of these sites will be shut down, there will be problem for current internet users. They will need to set up new service. And R.I.P. these data. Try to use multiple services for this. You will lose only part if it will get shut down. At least Wikipedia won something once.

 Discoverability: we use centralization of services to solve the fact that my phone and your phone don't know about each other (yet), and so the best we've come up with (yet) is for these two to be (at best) introduced via a centralized service, (at worst) proxied via a centralized service.

Only if you are too mainstream. Besides, I think people have backup anyway, especially Youtube creators. They probably have a copy of their vids in a hard drive, and one on the cloud too. If any of these services fail, that's not much of a problem.

What you should be worrying are how these companies are trying to build monopolies, sometimes buying out emerging rivals just to avoid having any threats to them.

today, the internet already can not be separated from the life of everyone, the internet is always to make users always addicted.

I don't agree to that statement, because Internet has helped to world transition at a faster rate for globalization and create better opportunities for us!

Yes there are big companies who we marked for doing one thing on the internet. But still, there are a lot of sites that we are using for and would not be just monopolized by this. There are a lot of sites for pictures, socializing or even for searching information.

yes, it is very difficult for users, especially those who have been very loyal to the internet media. each has advantages and different features. it depends on the user in choosing their social media. eg for facebook he has features to share post, chat etc. special instagram for photo upload and sharing. all have different features and advantages.so all options depending on you wear them

Centralized internet is the falling decaying fiefdom of the hasbara, ready to censor and silence ideas and all opposition to their vision of being the suprem tribe on earth... in a sense they aren't wrong, why do people use 0 revenue sharong centralized services because girls too dumb to use computer before facefuk are posting skin pictures...

Pathetic, who care where those users are... they are valueless anyway.

[Sniar]

I'm sure that all special services can easily find everything you need to know about a person via the Internet

[VitaminDer]

There is always choice not to follow mainstream, but most of people will not sacrify their habits:D

one way or another you need to understand that all the people who today are using the Internet to manage their finances and their lives are practically dependent on it and are at risk. Apparently the Internet was originally used for moss and created only for the control of humanity.

In the future, blockchain would help decentralized the internet and people would slowly be immerse how these blockchain helps to secure on how we use the internet maybe then we dont have to rely on big greedy companies

Thank you for posting this!!!

Please set up a free wifi access point and block access to the top 10 or 20 Internet services, such as Facebook, Alphabet (Google, youtube, gmail, their javascript library and cookie tracking service, their advertisement and cookie tracking service, Google Play, anything Android related, etc.), Twitter, Possibly Microsoft, Netflix, Comcast streaming services, Apple, possibly eBay, possibly Craigslist, and whatever other monopoly you can think of.

It's interesting to see how things always gravitate in the same patterns - but with the speed of information of the internet + the network effect of the platforms, it's happening faster than ever. Even though I'm a libertarian (or exactly because of that), I quite agree with some suggestions that some companies resemble natural monopolies and should, therefore, be regulated as a public utility.

For good or bad, the internet is changing daily. The Internet we know today is radically different from its modest academic start in the 1970s.
