I’ve been wondering what happened to the old internet (if it ever went away). Any good sources on the story here?
How did the internet become so centralized? Was it just the ads model and winner-takes-all dynamics, or were government involved?

It was the natural progression because we didn't have widespread infrastructure that could scale accordingly.
personally i think its bc all our known forms of coordination for blocking bad actors relies on centralized methods. this is the one reason I really think pow should be tried, its the only form of coordination for blocking bad actors that i know of that is decentralized.
This was a nice read
