> The idea that we use our email accounts, attached to huge corporations which siphon every detail about us for their advertising engines is absolutely absurd.
Is it, though? It’s just a trade off people make to get a free service. If I want my email to be free of advertising scanning by large corporate entities I can just pay for Protonmail or something.
This is what I feel like I see with web3 time and time again: it’s a complicated technological solution looking for a problem when (for the vast majority of people) that problem is already solvable without the complexity.
I strongly agree. Email is already a federated system that lets you own your own data. It turns out everyone would rather have convenience and that’s completely understandable.
