The resilience of the web community

I ran across this interesting quote in an old piece about the infamous backroom deal setting webcasting royalty rates:

Every new technology medium seems to enjoy a delicious moment, between being born as a vehicle for human creativity controlled by no one, into a Pigopolistic advertising channel, controlled by very few.

What's interesting to me is how the web keeps spawning medium after medium for creative expression. As one closes down, another appears. Is this the promise of the web?
