But that's the problem. If you want the internet for a subscription price, you can get that. Making an InternetX that's privacy-focused and competes with but does not coexist with the current internet is a bad business decision. You are counting on privacy-focused consumers to subscribe to an InternetX with nothing on it (yet), in the hopes enough demand will be generated that people and companies will start providing content for this InternetX. Companies LIKE metadata. They LOVE it. You need a really healthy customer base to convince them to give up all the data they can scrape from regular internet users. And governments FUCKING LOVE metadata. So they aren't going to do you ANY favors. You'll have to fight legislation everywhere you go. All the existing ISPs will try and strangle you out of existence too.
The internet is where the money is. InternetX needs to be some untapped goldmine to get a goldrush to happen and get enough momentum to actually be a viable service. Just like nothing's going to replace VRChat unless it's not just technically more capable and polished but also has content and users to convince people to switch from VRChat. ;)
