No worries about the criticism.

Basically I get paid NOIA tokens by offering some bandwidth and operating as a node offering content?

RE: Blockchain handling pressure - still a young technology that is making consistent advancements. All has not yet been solved. NOIA is a piece to the puzzle and its leadership recognizes that the blockchain industry is an open-ended innovation (see Roadmap).

RE: Pyramiding - Cryptos (like the real world) are no where near perfect. As far as pyramid schemes, well, as Andreas Antonopoulos talks about, blockchain will be in a fight before the world has a dominant solution. Some of that 90% market dominance must be attributed to established organizations exerting pressure on the blockchain industry (ie. BTC vs BCH). He goes on to say that a true blockchain is decentralized and those blockchains that are centralized will fail because this is essential to the technology.

• Looking beyond this opinion: consider any of the big tech companies (Amazon, FB, Alibaba, Google, etc.) [and their supporters]. They maintain control of a database. That database is primarily comprised of "unownable" aspects of human information. This is not an attack on capitalism, its just that the type of information that FB, for example, collects necessitate permissions from whom it is about. A big tech giant selling that info is the equivalent of character defamation (even when positive- because no permission was granted by the object of discussion). Imagine if FB needed to pay its users to vote before selling demographic data! Also, there is a pyramid on the U.S. Dollar, so this is nothing new.

Decentralizing cloud networks would supersede the big tech databases. So YES, NOIA is about profiting from the capacity of our own devices. Working toward full decentralized content delivery networks puts people more in charge of their own information. They now have more options to sell that information themselves AND less digital intrusion from unwanted solicitation.

RE: Speed - I can see how this might bring the biggest debate. But consider, America vs the old Soviet Union. We Americans have big cars. Part of the reason is that we have a lot of land, and the other is that we do not need papers to cross state borders. Our interstates highways run unobstructed from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I know, I played touch-and-go with both oceans over the course of three days.

Thanks @ejgarcia for the comments (pos and neg:)
