Any service that achieves a certain level of network effect will inevitably use that position against its users, knowing very few of them will change their behavior and abandon the network. The biggest networks have become too big to be disrupted on a short enough time scale that execs worry about. I don't know if a Digg to Reddit type migration is possible anymore. But Reddit and Twitter are well into their phase where we know we don't like using them anymore. We've just established these patterns and no one serves them well anymore. It will take a decade for these services to really die, but the die is cast. Between Twitter, Reddit, and now Uber it seems like the pretense of preserving a good user experience has suddenly been found to be unnecessary.
