Data will never be stored on blockchains, its not what they’re for. It’s amusing that you’re so vehemently against something you know nothing about.

So if its not stored on the chain, where will it be stored, if not on central servers, where its ultimately under control of whoever owns them?

In a distributed network? How does that handle the data loads and requirements (availability, latency, security) of services on the scale of fb or youtube?

ique: Users are free to switch service providers as they see fit because their identity and data isn't tied to a single company.

me: data can't be stored on the bockchain, it will remain proprietary, so good luck "being free" and switching between service providers

ique: Data will never be stored on blockchains, its not what they’re for.

So, how exactly are users going to be "free to switch service providers" if their data will literally remain in a walled garden of the service provider?
