Which we expected

Anything but. More people using it not democratising it. More people sharing control is democratising.

> It has empowered a lot of people

Not as much as it should have, not anywhere like as much.

It has been democratized in one angle, that of the technical ability to use the internet being taught and disseminated wide enough that people can use it, it has been privatized in another angle meaning that while people can travel through the internet it is through private grounds they travel, and private tolls they must pay.

The platforms work really hard to make it seem like you're using them, but in truth they're using you.
