Not sure how I feel about coins, but I sure as heck know how I feel about big corporations and their take rates of near 100% 

“The combined revenue of the five largest social networks—Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter—is about $ 150 billion per year. Nearly all major social networks have “take rates”—the percentage of revenue network owners take from network users—of 100 percent, or near to it. (YouTube is the one outlier with a take rate of 45 percent, for reasons we’ll get into later.) This means the vast majority of that $ 150 billion goes to those companies instead of the users, creators, and entrepreneurs who contribute, build on top, and create value for all.”

This perfectly captures the core tension of Web2—creators generate the value, but platforms capture the wealth. That 100% take rate is a glaring imbalance, and it's no wonder Web3 narratives about ownership and decentralization resonate so strongly. Do you think tokenized models or decentralized platforms can realistically shift this power dynamic anytime soon?

Absolutely agree. Tokenized models and decentralized platforms like NFT marketplaces and DAOs are early steps in shifting power back to creators. While adoption is growing, widespread change will require more innovation and user education.
