    I like to call it the reddit effect. Any serious attempt to control the free exchange of ideas on the internet leads to avenues that are freer and less uncontrollable getting built.

      I agree, it’s no coincidence that monolithic platforms like Reddit and Twitter are crumbling at the same time. I believe what we are witnessing is the emergence of decentralization as a global cultural value.
