The last 'media shop' I worked at before retiring had around 350 artists. Hammering just our local servers caused slowdowns. That many artists having to do everything on the Cloud?
Exactly... Not saying it won't happen. Just not in the foreseeable future (10 years ???)
 
The new paradigm, anchored partially on compatibility and server side security angles, will be virtualized web content. It will simply feed you a display of the site via stream, and look and feel like a highly responsive local copy, but be nothing more intense than an image that is updated with user interactions and demand. No local code to exploit to be of any use, all encrypted and running on remote systems. No constant hassles of having to optimize for various browsers and platforms, just flow the entire site virtually.
This is actually interesting, I hadn't fully considered that. Kind of like AOL "optimizing" images on their servers transparently, to speed up "56K" web browsing. Only, taken to logical extremes, the entire web page "optimized" and streamed, from the server-side. (So much for YouTube download helper extensions? And ad-blockers?)

Yes, sadly the prime motivation from the corporate side will be the targeting of adblockers, which are reaching immensely high levels now. Hopefully it will never get as crazy as the ads did around a decade+ back haha. Go to the wrong site and your screen would explode with popups and layers of chaos like your junk mail bin dumped over your head 🙂
