there's a relevant gap in his 'history of the internet' analysis where centralized web was basically all that existed for users (i.e. AOL walled gardens).

as many things in society, these internet trends seem to follow cycles of discovery/innovation and improvement/cost-efficiency.

and the same way the previous centralized web crumbled with the appearance of novel services, so will the current centralized networks. trust in innovation.
