Evolution of Internet Services
The development of internet services typically follows a pattern where startups, initially focused on being user-friendly to attract users, eventually transition to extracting value from their users as they gain power and scale. This progression, termed the 'attractive track cycle,' is exemplified by companies like Google, which started with no ads but now inundates users with ads on search pages. Decentralization aims to counteract this trend by promoting the principle of 'can't be evil,' emphasizing that services should not exploit their users as they grow in influence over time.
