The internet was designed to incorporate decentralization

Its designers were oriented toward academic issues and lacked the funding to build the web with a top-down, centralized structure.

They weren’t looking to monetize the internet.

They had no interest in fashioning a big, for-profit company.

They insisted that users would create the internet’s content, and foresaw that those users would become the writers, editors, publishers, and producers, The internet wouldn’t have executives. It would never go public.
