I think part of what has happened to decentralized internet systems is technological, and part of it is terminology.

It seems like we still have decentralized systems but now call them fediverse, distributed, decentralized, federated, ipfs, web 3.0, etc..

It might have been interesting if he'd looked at searches for those terms as well.

They aren't really decentralized in old meaning. It's more a bunch of fiefdoms than something actually decentralized.
