It seems to me that many people in the Web-Component discussion approach them with a mental model that's too heavily influenced by conventional approaches of Vue/Svelte/React and so forth. I highly recommend the course on FrontendMaster's by @davatron5000 which takes a very different route to explain them than most resources out there. I was rather opposed to WC, but just needed to shift the mental model a bit; and now I use them regularly!

the thing that pisses me off about the "web components debate" is yet again it's all about "what is everyone else doing" rather than "how can we build the best user experience" and yeh, it's hard to give a toss about this inward lookin' industry a lot of the time

So in 2007, Marc Andreessen is evangelizing OpenSocial and basically calling Facebook the boogie man.
And by 2008, as OpenSocial was crashing and burning, Marc Andreessen finds himself on the board of Facebook?!
And these are the people you're trusting with the fediverse??
WHAT IS THE TECH INDUSTRY? lol
Okay, bed for real. Leave me alone you guys. ❤️

I cant immediately find the article and I'm getting sleepy so for now, source: trust me bro. I'll edit this post tomorrow.
Anyway, you think Zuck has been through the wringer on how he handles user data? Poor Jack has been through some shit. Someone should really make a website dedicated to all the times that man has been sued for being an absolute Jack-ass. Heh.

So now it's 2019, a year after Cambridge Analytica broke, and suddenly the tech elite have a lot to say about the future of the web.
Zuckerberg's published his four point plan for the internet which included some decentralized ideology:
And then we got Mike Masnick's Protocols, Not Platforms a few months later:

It was like overnight, Technocrats were all about that decentralized life. Something about 2019, I don't know what.

With just ten likes, Facebook can predict your personality traits better than your coworkers. Given 300 likes, Facebook knows you better than your own spouse.
Combined that with the OCEAN model, and you have a pretty sophisticated method of manipulation.
So it's safe to say that perhaps our social media digital footprints should not be open for anyone to harvest; that the platform should, under law, protect that data from bad actors.
