I don't understand the belief that any of this takes power from corporations. If you look at NFTs right now, big participants include the NBA, Sotheby's, and a whole lot of venture capital. What's the dynamic that's going to shut them out as they become more lucrative?

Creators of content controlling that content without the need for big corp involvement, which can be corporations yes, but also the little people. This could be access/distribution, royalties, licensing, and more.

The big corporations have binders full of techniques to take control of content from the little creators and claim it for themselves. A popular one right now goes: A one-person operation making and selling designs could find their online work subject to pointless DMCA complaints or even threats. They'd crumble at even the threat of a big corporation actually suing for infringement. Now the big company copies the individual's designs, and collects rent on something it didn't create.
