That's the opposite of better. Better is made with soul, and often for free.
Google has come full circle. Early Google succeeded in part because of nonintrusive ad words, scamming over banner ads. Now, Youtube.
- godelski 3y agoI'm not sure a market is free in the sense people mean by that term when the market is dominated by network effects. A free market in that sense requires competition and the ability to upset existing players. As an example, you can't upset Google search, and even having a 80B company with an LLM integrated into a 2.5T company is having a hard time displacing them. If that's still a free market then I'm pretty sure we could claim the USSR was a free market and just that Stalin's Communism LLC dominated.
