Server is a general term. Webservers are a subset. We have video camera surveillance servers, telephone servers, internal document servers, web servers. They’re all servers. And webservers are one variant of it.
Yeah, I skipped the more ambiguous ones. Netflix, Amazon, Youtube etc will distribute their content via the web. So they’re kinda webservers. Though the infrastructure which feeds in cable TV aren’t. It’s complicated.
What do you mean by that? Centralization of the internet? And an uptake in capitalism, to a degree that it’s now a handful of companies and providers who do the lion’s share of everything? Sure, that’s been happening since 2010 or so, plus minus a few years.
It’s not one huge server, though. They’ll have datacenters all across the globe.

Even what we watch on the TV are servers.
A server is a fantastic concept per se.

Do you realise that the market has also become one huge server ?

Centralisation of the internet is another topic altogether, and a very interesting one.
