N2 - Centralization, decentralization, hobbyism, and monetization have been in perpetual conflict over dominance on the internet for decades. Two domains stand in the center of this fight: news and sex. While sex was long a domain of hobbyist interaction, news was long a domain of centralized, corporate aggregation. Today, subversive use of existing monetized services blur the lines, like decentralized news content on YouTube channels as well as nude content on hub sites or Onlyfans, which retain decentralization at the expense of introducing monetization.
