> The problem in my opinion is that we have reached peak advertising. Advertising is ultimately a doomed business model as it works against your users' interests, yet requires those users to willingly use the product and engage with the ads. Isn't the problem much simpler. It's a shift in users attention to other social networks like TikTok, plus Meta already capture the total addressable market. It's hard to continue growth when you've essentially plateaued and now users are spending less time on your site.
