          @worrydream Two big issues: (1) This isn’t Web-specific: just as true for e-mail, Usenet, Snapchat, Tinder. It’s digital info in general.

          .@worrydream Digital resources have an upkeep cost. The rent made from ownership must be greater than this.

          @worrydream low publishing cost (anyone anywhere can publish anything) increases retention cost (someone somewhere has to retain everything)
