I agree, and I never claimed convenience is evil. I don't change the oil in my car. It's a pain in the ass, so I choose not to do it, but if I wanted to, I could. And I've never skinned a deer, but if I wanted to, I could learn how to. I want people to realize that they have a choice. I want them to make conscious decisions in their lives.

By analogy, I want them to choose to eat fast food because they want to, not because they lack the skills to make their own hamburger. And I don't want them to be afraid to learn how to make their own hamburger because Ronald McDonald has convinced them that cooking a hamburger is too hard.

I want people to know that hosting their own music and videos isn't hard, it's simply that they don't know how to do it, and if they want to have the ultimate control over the distribution of their content, it's easy and available, and they don't need to be afraid of it or feel too dumb to do it. I don't want them to think that the realm of computers is a magical one that only the techno-elites can understand and manipulate. I want them to know that they too are powerful agents in this world, and what one man can do, they can also do if they wanted to.
