The web is not decentralized today. We are routing vast majority of web traffic through a handful of monopolies that control all forms of monetization that don't involve crypto. Google + Facebook own the ad market. Paypal owns the payments market and where they aren't, VISA + MasterCard are used directly. We have seen deplatforming, censorship, antitrust behavior, price fixing, shadow banning, mass propaganda, sentiment manipulation, and more from these monopoly powers and some people are trying to make it better through novel monetization mechanisms that are open source, censorship resistant, decentralized, autonomous, and cryptographically verifiable. What's your big idea for dealing with the above?
>and that should tempt me, why?
Probably won't because snarky replies like that imply that you lack psychological openness and creativity.
>anyway, it's kinda required by the law that you don't sell everything to everybody..
No, it's not. It is perfectly okay to sell food to anyone. It's okay to sell clothes to anyone. It's okay to sell books to anyone, etc. For the vast majority of products and services, it is truly okay to sell to them without knowing anything about them. This is the de facto state of retail commerce.
>because you know, conversion rates are gonna be the last of your problem if you end up in jail.
I live in a western democracy with constitutional protection. It is perfectly okay to sell products and services to people without discriminating. In fact, discrimination is what gets you into legal trouble. Unless I'm selling firearms, pharmaceuticals, controlled substances, etc. it is really okay my dude.
>who's paying me for all this work I need to do?
When you create a self-owned endeavor, whether that be a lemonade stand or a personal web ecommerce store, you are the one who accepts the risk that you won't get paid. That's called a business my dude.
>using the same concept of uptime, google search has 100% uptime over the past 23 years...
No, it doesn't.
Meanwhile Google Search is closed source software for which you have absolutely no visibility into.
Google Search isn't a deterministic cryptographic computation engine. It's a manipulated, censored, monopoly-owned search engine that propels its own products and services to the top. It is designed to get you to click on paid ads. That's its purpose. Meanwhile your data, including intimate details about your personal life, is mined via AI and re-sold to the highest bidder.
