I think people would prefer it. They just dont know how. And there is also misinformation.

I am not sure about that, mainly because there isn't much to do on the internet anymore anyways that is worth the fight.
Fwiw, direct communications will remain free, stuff like Signal, which I value tremendously.
But already most of Bitcoiners don't have no-kyc jobs, so whether or not they are making money online doesn't matter, they are making money within the hierarchical permissioned system.
So what remains? Entertainment. Ok does it fucking matter if Twitter is centralized? You would rather be on the beach anyways, so who cares if your digital identity is permissioned, when there is very few digital stuff you would like to access anyways.
People want to touch grass, and sovereign digital identity doesn't matter in that regard.
Maybe if we had the Metaverse by now, but we don't.
Entertainment matters alot. There should be a viable alternative to twitter, but, more importantly to the other entertainment and media giants. Then people need to understand how to use it. No one has built that yet, but hopefully it will come soon.
Why do the people need an alternative to Twitter or Netflix?
Digital sovereignity and freedom of expression truly doesn't matter when you are not productive nor politically organised and wholly dependent on the state to provide you with welfare or fake employment.
My point is if you are powerless in real life you are powerless on the internet too.
News, the more hierarchical the faker mainstream news needs to be.
