But that's not accurate. If they wanted to profit off of it, they would have chosen a more reasonable price, which would still keep 3P clients alive, but paying a bit more than they earn through ads. They chose to set the price so high that it's not possible to run a 3P client anymore. It's not a profit motive, it's only about consolidation.
- predictabl3 3y agoI honestly can't believe the good faith people are willing to afford spez at this point. I can see it, it's the "temporarily disenfranchised millionaire" effect in front of us. Some here have said as much: "But surely he has a plan/knows what he's doing/it's all calculated". Or you know, he's a narcissistic liar. For fucks sake. (Insert the article about his doomsday prep and how he won't be a slave. You can't make this crap up.) Idk, I have a nose for bullshit and it went off a long time ago.
- Timon3 3y agoMe neither, but at this point I think it's an unavoidable fact of our industry. It's very similar to pick-me behavior ("look, I see that this is a necessary business decision, please pick me!"). The frustrating part is: people like spez or Elon show us time and time again who they are and what they want, and yet people try to gaslight you into believing in that distorted reality.
