I think the consolidation of smaller websites in favor of everything being on a handful of private platforms (eg: facebook, google) is a big loss.

Like, if you're a small band you should be able to host your handful of music videos on your own site. But then you don't get all the network effects and discoverability, I guess. Federation might be a solution.

Maybe also breaking google up would help, but left unattended things would merge back into a monopoly eventually.
