I think this decentralization and federation is what web3 is all about, without all the corporations calling everything to do with monkey pixel art that costs a million dollars “web3”

    Yeah and it helps a lot when your parent company owns the hosting company and cuts you a massive discount.

    It’s a large part of YouTube’s anti competitive fly wheel. YouTube was able to gain early success once purchased by Google by turning their hosting up to 11 while paying pennys on the dollar so that other competitors couldn’t keep up. Now they just own the space and can do what they want, largely taking profits from creative workers on their platform at the cost of their end user.
