RE: 1 Full Year on Steemit, My Thoughts - Gratitude - 5000sp Delegation - Questions for V4vapid

Very interesting, thanks! Imo I think the world is kinda too chaotic / messy for any dominant control, but I can see the reason why if traditional mass media is still what people pay attention to. Atm I think more and more are tuning into decentralised media and have been forming different kinds of trust networks, which is pretty much what social media is.

Sort:  

Very true, yet just look at the few dominant Tech companies Apple, Google (Youtube), Facebook (Instagram, Whatsapp), Amazon, etc. the amount of control and influence these companies have is staggering. If they want to promote or remove certain content, they can easily do so.

I think you're right, people are moving to more decentralized systems but the vast majority of us are still undoubtedly effected by the power of these media behemoths.
