That's a sharp take. Social platforms owning distribution gives them leverage—audience aggregation, algorithmic control, monetization tools. It’s hard to beat that centralized coordination.
P2P creator economies sound great in theory—more direct value flow, no middlemen—but in practice, most creators don’t want to manage discovery, payments, or community from scratch. Platforms lower those barriers significantly.
Still, interesting experiments are happening at the edges (e.g., Farcaster, Lens, or direct subscription models like Substack or Patreon). But until distribution itself becomes decentralized and user-friendly, platform dominance feels like the steady state. 0 reply
