Yes. I suppose it was inevitable that the concentration of capital required to build the net would make it likely the net would be reduced, to a time, for a way to exploit/extract/recoup the cost of building it.

I think it might be different in future as the ways of interacting get richer. At least I hope so!

Sometimes I think it's such a shame that mainstream "content creators" are limited to:

- 140 characters

- FB posts

- YT shorts

People feel they have such huge creative outlets, and in a way they do! But in another way those messages/mediums are quite limited. Hopefully the ability to create rich experiences becomes more evenly distributed in future.

But maybe tech is only part of the reason it's not. Perhaps it really is like the 90-9-1 rule. 90% just consume, 9% comment, 1% create? Is this a true universal law governing humanity, or just want the "social media" (people are products) companies want to gaslight us into believing about our limited potential, because it makes us better products???

Hahah! :)
