Spot-on as always Taskmaster! I have witnessed the downfall of Web 2 (specifically YouTube, IG, and Twitter) over the past 5-6 years (I left Facebook's legacy platform in the summer of 2017).

I have watched countless YouTubers get shadow-banned, censored, de-monetized, had their videos taken down, the overzealous supposed enforcement of "copyright" which is in itself a perpetual gate-keeping of information.

With that being said, I was an early participant with LBRY & using Odysee, before they got put down by the SEC. Odysee was very promising, but they went the fiat route, instead of incorporating crypto tipping and payments, they went with Stripe, a global conglomerate that has an excessive amount of influence and power over global commerce and information sharing/monetization.

I have heard many YouTubers have joined Rokfin, but the token, the platform uses, is nothing more than a utility token with low liquidity, once again, ignoring more robust coins with better tokenomics in favor of creating their own, and leading to liquidity bottlenecks.

Twitter might be the most egregious of the 3, since it is commonly seen as the digital "public square." The Twitter Files demonstrate that governments and NGOs use Twitter to censor and control narratives, not allowing for any semblance of free speech on the platform.

Private keys change that entirely, and I don't see any way for the legacy socialist media platforms to include them without completely disassembling their existing profit-driven user-as-the-product business model.
