thinking about how i was radicalized as a decentralization maxi when amazon banned my account for no reason and deleted all my kindle and audible books lost my whole library bc some algo flagged me wrong and their "appeal process" was sending emails into the void. cool system guys literally hundreds of books i "owned" just DISAPPEARED, and it made me think 'hey maybe walled gardens aren't the play wild how we just accepted that we don't actually own anything anymore. ur spotify library? poof. ur steam games? gone if they feel like it. ur cloud data? literally just borrowing it companies sell us "licenses" instead of products and pretend there's no difference. digital feudalism type beat remember when u could just... own things? without some megacorp maintaining an active permission slip for u to access ur own stuff? it's time to retvrn, onchain https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/11/24267864/steam-buy-purchase-license-digital-storefront

This is what brought me onchain, it was an alluring possible solve to legacy media algos and live service models. Felt magical again for a while.Sadly onchain is only as secure as the front end.& all front ends are hell bent pivoting to legacy media models w/ apps. Internet 3.0 feels more unstable than legacy recently
