> Meanwhile - Nothing changes
Well, TFA, and sibling posts to mine, point out some ways in which federated networks are leading the change in this direction. I would add that alongside SOLID and the AT Protocol, ActivityPub also encourages people taking ownership of their own data.
So probably you need to focus your attention to where the change happens instead of waiting for large, ad filled, for profit networks to act on it. Because indeed they have no incentive.

I think I agree. I know I started re-evaluating my internet presence as a whole. I accept that a lot can't or won't do much, but the same was true, when firefox was new and no one wanted to jump ship, but the people, who liked privacy focus and extensions. Those that can, will move. The herd will follow if they see it can work.
