  • The ecosystem itself should be the aggregator.
    • The problem with aggregators is not the gravity well, it's the "single entity in control."
    • That's required due to our default privacy model, the easiest way to safely share data is to have a single entity in control

    • But if you could have data safely transit across origins then the ecosystem itself could be the aggregator, without the downsides of any one entity being totally in control.
