Gurley observes email and podcasting are unique content forms with no centralized control due to their technical architecture.
“email and podcasting are two content forms where there's no evil overlord that control. They're they're both these highly distributed things just by the way they're technically implemented.”
Gurley says decentralization wasn't a limiting factor; Second Life creators were cashing out $100 million annually.
“If I made a list of 25 things that I think inhibited us from getting to a higher place, I don't think I'd put decentralization on that list.”
