Yeah, sorry, I wrote the comment quickly and “resources” was overloaded. My first reference to resources was intended to be money; the second was information like career guides and such.
I think the critical-info-in-private thing is actually super impactful towards centralization, because when the info leaks, the “decentralized people” have a high-salience moment where they realize that what’s happening privately isn’t what they thought was happening publicly, they feel slightly lied-to or betrayed, lose perceived empowerment and engagement.
