What are ‘centralization’ and ‘decentralization’ often mentioned on the Internet?

Centralization and decentralization are centralization and decentralization. On the Internet, they refer to the transformation from the broadcast model where I tell you what to listen to the square model where everyone has a small speaker.

Typical examples of centralization are portals, and typical examples of decentralization are blogs, UGC, social media, etc.

Many people have some misunderstandings about decentralization. For example, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are becoming more centralized centers.

Decentralization does not mean that there will no longer be large websites in the future, nor does it mean that large websites must be centralized. Decentralization mainly refers to the empowerment of ordinary users by technology.

In addition, decentralization does not mean that everyone is absolutely equal. There will always be people who are better at taking advantage of the possibilities given by technology, while others are not good at using it or don't care.

In layman’s terms: Centralization: a few certified guests ‘talk’ and everyone else listens.

(Class) Decentralization: Everyone can ‘speak’, and everyone can choose to listen or speak.
