That's my point.

The system is rigged in every way. The expensive ISP service is barely any different than regular service. That's intentional. They don't want good or competitive networks out there.

But if everyone had one and demanded a better price, maybe.

Or... We adapt and build our own in various ways. Let's for the moment pretend that everyone is adopting this new decentralized system and it all pays for itself as the market meets the demand. (Rather than supply side economics overproducing shit for landfills, demand side is superior and less wasteful.) But "they" are closing down the connections and services.

So we adapt. Rather than relying only on direct physical networks we can create wireless networks like the Better Approach To Mobile Adhoc Networking (B.A.T.M.A.N.) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.A.T.M.A.N.

But we don't want to burden wireless systems much less adopt 5G or worse to increase bandwidth. If every computer server system had something like FreeNAS ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeNAS ) in it, you could be make lots of redundant drive, not only good for backup security but also for "trade". Let's say every week you shipped a couple 4tb drives to a network determined location somewhere else near or far to perpetuate and spread the information you had. Also, you'd be copying new redundant drives all week and every week you'd also receive a couple 4tb drives from some other seemingly random place. Random to people, but determined by the systems operated by folks. For example, all of this weeks updates on GitLab could be put on a drive and shipped to one town in Africa to be disperesed there. Not the best example.

So maybe they'd try to stop shipments. That doesn't stop people from inventing their own systems. You viisit your friends and neighbors and coworkers and swap drives with them. Some folks travel to other towns etc. etc. etc. It could be a way of life - only if 1) people rejected the authority systems and 2) the decent-web systems could be profitable and sustainable on some level small or large.

Anyway, they say most of the traffic on the interwebs is Netflix and porn. Even if you drop the porn, Netflix is serving content that could be compressed with x265. Also they shouldn't be serving everyone, so much as seeding to some who share with others, like webtorrent. In this way Bitchute, PeerTube, etc are a superior model to YouTube if they could expand and everyone be part of the participatory cloud rather rely on the authority cloud.
