They’re like a V1 product in a category where we won’t start to be happy until about version 8 or 9. This is a bad experience for us today, but like people using cars just before the Henry Ford Era, we’re making a sacrifice, taking the hit for their benefit.
Problem is — from now until the time when it hits v10 — it’ll remain locked up by billionaires. Google Apple Amazon Netflix Spotify - each industry has one “natural”* monopolist. Amazon, for example, is not the “best” of all possible online stores. It didn’t invent the category, it has no exclusive right to flood the town square and should be snapped into ten separate companies hit with compulsory unionism, a kind of x^5 drag coefficient tax on total revenue. That would unlock so much more creative output in the market place. Or I’ll accept a bribe big enough to live off the interest of the interest of the interest.
