The way to unseat an established network is to build a network no one controls, which makes it the obvious alternative for anyone dissatisfied with the monopolist. Decentralization yields powerful network effects, and we're all about to watch it unfold. If you want to be a part of it, dive into the decentralized application communities that are forming around Ethereum and IPFS.

I mean, I respect the effort, but people by and large aren't dissatisfied, while those who are dissatisfied aren't dissatisfied in such a way that makes them receptive to "nobody else is here, but you should be" services.
