This is true in our measurements today, even when subscribers are given
symmetrical connections.  It might change at some point in the future,
especially when widespread IPv6 lets us get rid of NAT as a de facto
deployment reality.

that the average user does not create content that anyone needs to see.
This has not changed throughout the ages, the ratio of authors to readers,
artists to art lovers, musicians to music lovers, YouTube cat video creator
to cat video lovers, has never been a many to many relationship.

And when you expand to several billion people creating new content,
you need a *huge* pipe down.
