This is really really awesome, but my first thought was Pied Piper (from the Silicon Valley tv show on HBO), and how this will have the user:service paradox.

For the service to be useful/good, it needs a lot of users, you can't get a lot of users without the service being useful/good, so it either slowly creeps up user counts over a very long period of time, or stagnants/dies off.

That aside, this kind of technology is what I want the future internet to be. Ran by people, on a distributed global network, not corporations, eating your data and nickel and diming you.

So -- essentially the plot of Silicon Valley (which is a good thing lol).

You got a star from me.
