Agreed.

Many would say this is because the process of online communication has not really been "pushed forward".

We discouraged email years ago in favor of walled communication in social media communities. There are literally trillions of epic conversations happening in places where they'll never get seen or shared beyond within those communities...

Those communities also ratio (in many ways) the ability for ideas to be found and seen by others within and outside of those communities, and also incentivize others word-wide to parrot and copy ideas from the original authors and then present them as their own, without properly crediting or attributing the original author...

This is exactly where the conflict to real innovation that was meant for the Internet resides.
