    As much as I love decentralization and activitypub, this is very ignorant for ignoring lock in and network effect

      This old article isn’t really about that. It’s arguing for posting everywhere, including in silos and linking back. If anything, it’s talking about the opposite of what you’re alluding to. I don’t find the argument that format doesn’t matter convincing though. What you post on tiktok isn’t the same as a voluminous blog post or a YouTube video. Sounds like a lot of work.

          Who would pay for stuff? Ads are not inherently bad, it’s misuse is. I wouldn’t mind a website with one or two ads per page. I hate these sites with an ad after each paragraph. I use Firefox with Ublock origin, Privacy badger and use Next DNS in my router because of Ad excesses. Ultimately the greed of website publishers is their own demise.
