Yahoo is perhaps more apt of a comparison: They do not offer anything that is not easily replaceable, they fail to innovate at every turn, and their revenue is almost completely tied to advertising.
You might say this describes Google as well, but search provides a real utility and I honestly don’t know what Facebook provides anyone other than an addicting experience that makes the user feel actively worse.
- sammalloy 5y agoThere was a time in the late 1990s when Yahoo News seemed to be a top performer in terms of republishing or carrying wire stories. They lost an opportunity to redesign the media landscape, something nobody has still been able to do decades later. Ask a random person where they get their news today. Prepare for some strange looks and answers.
