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.
