Social media / networks are another good example.
Really i think you can argue money is a special case of the social network - one in which past transactions are agreed upon universally.
Eg nostr is a general social network, consisting of identities that can sign messages, and a neutral network that relays them. If that had been invented first it would seem like a natural idea to add PoW to make a universally agreed history of transactions which would serve as money - bitcoin.
Going back to the general case, and trying to loosely follow your vector, the critical development is going to be the algorithms which create our networks. Maybe we don't need to care so much about the individuals we are connected to as much as their general characteristics, the values they embody.
In that world you interact with a feed of recommendations from the algorithm, rather than from your follows.
Obviously giving away that kind of control in a centralized system is the road to evil - which is where youtube, tiktok etc are taking us.
Eg: note1efngaru078022jlx9eag6qpqau4cmzfpfcxu8zwjxcv4rw6yuhdq26klcg
But in a free social network we will build our own algorithms, or consciously select those built by others. Possibly paying for what we want - and getting for the community we want based on our values. Of course you can add money back on that and what you get is a sort of self-selected virtual sovereign nation. I think that's where we are going.
It's very exciting.
