Until a competitor devices a revenue stream that is just as profitable as advertising and data capture (obviously it won't be a subscription model) then we're stuck in the perpetual cycle of "enshittification" as companies move to protect their revenue.
- nine_zeros 3y agoThe ads business is certainly one of enshittification. But, it becomes too shitty when the incumbents start milking every possible inch of the screen for as many seconds as they can. This happened with tv, cable, newspapers, and now streaming services. There is a always a chance that the next generation gets hooked on to a different platform. That phase where an emerging competition is eating the incumbent's lunch is the best time to be there.
