Schema.org exists, but all websites adopting it seems unlikely.
That being said, I can maybe see a world in which one company adopts schema.org schemas and the rest have to follow suit to be competitive in that particular domain.
What I see blockchains enabling (to what degree, tbd) is ownership of digital assets without a central party. Take concert tickets, for example. Imagine a world where transaction fees are nominal and blockchains are scalable. An artist/venue can mint tickets and have people buy them directly from them, no TicketMaster with 20% "convenience" fees needed. Now, of course, there will exist a product (probably a winner takes-all, as usual), that will serve as the UI to mint the tickets. But a significant value add of such products, the validation of tickets via the authority of their name, will be replaced by the blockchain. I don't know exactly what that'll look like, but I don't think that's insignificant.
Aren’t many people (most?) who use social media young and naive?
