The biggest problem of the Internet today: everything depends on a network effect owned by someone else.
Usually, that "someone else" is a giant tech company.
Your options for building the network effect are:
1. Google
2. Big Social
3. Email
If I don't want to use someone else's network effect, I will have effectively siloed myself.
And this isn't why we use the Internet, is it?
After all, we're here to build connections.
