I largely agree with you but I think there needs to be some balance here. The fact remains that twitter, facebook, and google make many subtle decisions to store up content in silos and to get people to click on their ads.

IMO, the internet was in many ways better around 2006-2010. I liked the web better when there was google reader, a google blogsearch, and google forum/discussion search and not everything was completely centered on twitter and facebook.
