remember when 50% of global Internet traffic was attributed to p2p file sharing?
imagine the topology (network structure) of the Internet back in the 2000s. now imagine what it looks like today. are we making progress?

MAKE TORRENTING GREAT AGAIN. We need a place for torrents that spooks can't pollute with virus-filled garbage. I know file sharing is possible directly with something like KEET, but maybe we can create special groups with cryptographic keys by invite or behind a zap pay wall (some way that FBI agents cannot join) and then torrent to the people in that group only. I don't know how validating files as not containing viruses can be done, if at all, but this should also be a component. Thanks for listening to my ted talk...
I thought it was mostly cat videos?!
Yes

Google does, Facebook does, Microsoft does
It would be really cool to have some data/research to represent these things.
IPtorrents private service still ticking along 🙏
This is a very good read (well, listen) on the history and topology of p2p networks/protocols
you already know the answer to that.
I want you to notice that we have more supply of stuff but people are using less.
For example there are now more YouTube videos than ever but most or 90% of watch time and clicks go towards the top 1-5% of creators.
There are millions of artists but they all broke and top 1-5% are balling out of control.
There are more websites than ever, more apps than ever. But guess what if you look at peoples phones. They have the same 20 apps.
Even with better transportation, guess what people are moving into cities from many different places.
