Vitalik Buterin analyzed the difference between the "corposlop web" (corporate spam web) and the "sovereign web" in a social media post. He defined "corposlop" as a combination of corporate optimization capabilities, a seemingly respectable brand image, and dishonest behavior in pursuit of profit maximization. Buterin described "corposlop" as a soulless, trend-following, and both evil and clumsy homogenization. He pointed out that the meaning of "sovereignty" has expanded to include protecting digital privacy through encryption and protecting one's mind from the psychic warfare of corporations aimed at extracting user attention and money. Buterin called on developers to build more sovereign tools, such as: 1. Privacy-preserving, native-first applications. 2. Social media platforms where users can control what they see. 3. Financial tools that help users grow wealth rather than encouraging 50x leverage or sports betting. 4. Open, privacy-focused, and native-friendly AI tools. 5. Applications, companies, and DAOs with a clear vision. Vitalik concluded by saying that sovereignty should be maintained, corposlop should be rejected, and there should be belief in something. He summarized it as: "Maintain sovereignty, reject corposlop, and believe in something."
