Completely rethink the stack
- p2p content hosting
- client side feed building
- maybe onchain profiles/social graph for composability

But will it scale? There's value in being able to work with large (social) datasets. Why not just change the incentives so the middleman isn't extractive?

I think the use cases are very varied, where for some interactions p2p makes perfect sense and for others you need network effects (presumably with economic incentives) that I don't see a p2p approach for. 

Let's say I'm looking for a tutorial on cooking lasagna. A network like YT works great for that. Finding something like that in a p2p system would be byzantine and exhausting

P2P arguably scales better than monolithic architectures, no?

But yes I agree there’s a trade off. I don’t think many end users care about being part of large social datasets - as a matter of fact, I think this inability to opt out is a bug, not a feature of the current decentralized social architectures

There are also UX trade offs to be made in a p2p architecture, but worth exploring imo
