Incredible to think about that we got it right the first time (with email) and still had to spend the last 20 years complaining about centralized social networks.

I really do want to point out, Gmail is gonna get a massive lead as time goes on.
Doing parental consent forms for my schools library, most of the parents email were yahoo, Hotmail, etc. but EVERY SINGLE student email was Gmail, with the exception of like 10 out of (at least) 300 pages
(edit: to clarify, 300 pages is 300 emails)
That's because these students were brain washed on that garbage.
