It’s as if Web2 became users’ sweat shops, ha?

 Everyone gives users free platforms but no one wants them to get anything meaningful out of it.You can make videos, write blogs, edit Wikipedia, but you can not gain anything but fame. Fortune is left for the platforms. Youtubes’ founders got their share and so will all other platforms owners. The user, the one that made it all happen for them, didn’t and won’t get a thing except for the chance to work hard for nothing.

 It feels like most users are blind and all enterprises are trying to gain more and more out of their hard work.

 Digg gave users the ability to mark items for them. They gave users a title if they gave them enough strong items. Once they got strong enough they forgot all about their Top Diggers. Now, Netscape stopped marking their “power users”.

 Those platfroms decided that even sharing their fame is too dangerous these days.If Web2 users were smart enough they would boycott those platforms. Same platforms that are changing the new web into a giant sweat shop.

 Each of those platforms would give users exactly what they deserve after two or three days without any active users.

 Those days would remind them that users have the power to change their billion dollars valuations, same valuations those Web2 users created for them and their VCs.
