I'm not against platforms, if they actually compete on features and not content.
This somewhat works for music. Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, YT music all have pretty much the same catalog.
Why are you OK with platforms?
Giving that all of them have shown you that the end state is to reduce the features and quality of content while making you pay more and more for this stuff.
We had the perfect opportunity. We had a new thing to shape and mold for future generations. Instead We let the people in who ruined every other thing we enjoyed. What I can't understand is how people thought they could let them in and also think it would somehow be different.
The right move is to do everything possible to make the internet anti profitable. The minute anyone. Tries we should copy and share it to infinity. Crack all the software. Treat everything the way NFTs were treated. Move the needle back to what we started with a space for hobbyist and enthusiast to create and share information without the endless pursuit of profit enshitifying every space we enjoy
