We've watched huge centralised services thrive on top of the internet and become profitable companies. With that we've benefited a lot but also lost a lot of control. I don't think I'm saying anything surprising or new. I guess what I'm wondering is. Will we ever see strong peer to peer alternatives to these systems in the long run? At some point will we get to a place where we're actually happy to use a service provided by one person rather than a large entity? Markets and exchanges have existed for goods. Individuals provide services offline. But it seems online we really don't do this as much. Maybe the app store is some of that but still it skews heavily to big companies.
