Ever notice how big companies polish their image while cutting corners on ethics? That's basically what one prominent Ethereum thought leader calls "Corposlop"—corporate optimization dressed up in trendy branding, all while chasing profit margins at the expense of principles.



The real issue? Centralized platforms have turned this into an art form. They optimize for engagement, optimize for user data extraction, optimize for shareholder returns—but conveniently forget to optimize for actual human values.

The counter-move is building infrastructure that matters: tools and platforms that put sovereignty back in users' hands. Imagine networks where you own your data, control your identity, and participate in governance instead of just being harvested for attention and information. That's the "Sovereign Web" concept gaining traction.

It's not just idealistic talk. Real alternatives are being built—decentralized platforms, user-owned networks, protocols that reward participation instead of extracting value. The gap between corporate greenwashing and genuine decentralization keeps widening.

The question isn't whether Web3 will replace everything overnight. It's whether enough builders will stay committed to principles over quick profits.

ngl this is the set we complain about every day, big companies wearing disguises to harvest profits, politely called "optimization," but in reality, it's just squeezing you dry without negotiation

ngl corposlop this term is too perfect. Big corporations are like this—packaging themselves beautifully while selling everything behind the scenes.
