The tech industry has long treated scaling as an inherent good and positive goal. And that's money backed, for sure. But I increasingly believe scale is causing problems that technology can't fix. Communities too large to be moderated by groups of humans become problematic, and I'd even argue networks and platforms at large scale become easy to exploit and manipulate from a security standpoint as well.

A small curated app store has quality apps published by humans. A giant app store trends towards being full of malware. The larger a platform becomes, the easier it is taken advantage of by bad actors.
