No we do not need to shovel all existing web content to Microsoft, Apple, and other tech hypergiants. A lot of what the article said feels true but I completely disagree with their conclusions.

What we really need are the digital equivalent of public libraries, not locking things behind corporate paywall subscriptions.

Edit: If there is any conclusion we can draw from the last decade of TV/movie subscription plans is that the controlling companies are not always the best curators of content.
