Why does the web feel transitional? And why do our platforms feel like a Potemkin Village?

I'm sorry to report that we don't live on Beyoncé's Internet anymore.

Most of the steel and glass that makes the Internet go vroom, is owned by four companies— #Microsoft, #Amazon, #Google, & #Meta (MAGM)

MAGM spent hundreds of billions on infrastructure in a race to own the real Web 3.0— Cloud Computing.

But a clear leader emerged (Amazon), and the others are scrambling.

Openness is their new gospel.
