I think his "objection" is similar to mine in that technology supposedly promises that everyone can be a producer, but instead we are getting even more centralization. We see the same thing in technology, were instead of open standards we get e.g. Facebook. Or in startups were the prospects of actually competing with one of the larger players is almost theoretical at this point.

A lot of people are fine with living for the moment hoping they can make it rich before opportunities shift. Others think more about what future they want to see.
