In tech, we throw around the term "users" constantly—but sometimes we miss what really matters: the actual people using these systems. 🌍



That's the appeal of decentralized networks. They're not just building another app; they're reimagining how the internet works from the ground up. Real ownership, genuine connection, actual stake in the ecosystem—these aren't buzzwords, they're the foundation.

When people own what they contribute to, when their data and interactions actually belong to them, the whole dynamic shifts. It stops being a one-way street where platforms extract value. Instead, you get a genuine community where participation means something.

That's the Internet of People—less about the interface, more about the power structure underneath.

After all this talk, it still comes down to on-chain data; having ownership without actual returns is just self-deception.

Sounds good, but most people will still continue to use centralized platforms. Can it really make a difference?

That's right, it's really time for users to wake up now. Web3 is truly about returning voting rights to people, not just a flashy trick that actually harvests profits from users. Data ownership is critical; centralized platforms have enjoyed benefits for so many years, it's time to reflect. Wait, is it possible that even with a better power structure, the users themselves are still the same group of people... Sounds good, but why is it so hard to implement in practice?

Really, big companies have been leeching for so many years. It's our turn now.

That's right, but the current problem is that most people are still drawn into centralized vampire platforms.

Talking about ownership again... Sounds nice, but I feel like on-chain data analysis looks no different from centralized systems. It still depends on who holds the distribution of the chips.

It sounds idealistic, but why does no one actually give the power back to the users?

That's true, but can it really be achieved? Right now, it's still a bunch of project teams reaping profits from newcomers.
