"My first impressions of web3" by Moxie Marlinspike https://moxie.org/2022/01/07/web3-first-impressions.html
"People don’t want to run their own servers, and never will." I think this is a fundamental principle to keep in mind when trying to create decentralized systems on the Internet.
I previously expressed annoyance at the fact that Linktree, a site for creating a Web page with links to other sites, exists as a commercial service ( https://qoto.org/@collectedoverspread/105613164044699683 ) but I recognize that this is just that principle at work. Still, it still bothers me how even simple things are now being placed on other people's servers because of this.
