@Doug,

While I am no fan of DHH I think you missed his point. His point is not about the content at all, but the infrastructure on which that content is managed.

Content can and ultimately probably should be disconnected from the platform that makes it available for viewing. Historians lament what happen 100 years from now when a given set of content is no longer available because no one can run its platform any more. But I digress.

Since content can and should be agnostic to the platform that serves it, DHH’s point is that having too much content on the same infrastructure can stifle innovation and flexibility.

While I make my living working with WordPress — and thus the more WordPress use there is the better my client prospects become — I still think that too much consolidation of content onto a single platform is a bad thing, in large part because that is too much concentration of power for one “benevolent” dictator to hold.
