Different from advertising companies.
There is a pretty clear difference in attitude and behavior when you are the customer vs the product.
Your run of the mill B2C will be more responsive to customer desires than a company with differentiated users and customers.
By way of example, the company like Netflix might has viewers as a customer. The company like Facebook has users, but the advertisers are customers.
- JohnFen 2y agoWell, in a sense, yes. The threat model isn't quite identical between the two sorts of companies. However, SV-style companies who are are not ad-dependent still tend to be highly problematic in their behavior. In my view, it's more a difference in style than anything.
- s1artibartfast 2y agoThere are tons of different kinds of tech companies, and I think they make more sense if you align them on the spectrum I proposed. I assume we are talking about product design behaviors and enshitiffication. Advertising isn't the only competing interests with users. Sometimes it's another product line or business interest. I think Windows OS would fall into this group. I think The OS intentionally designed to enfeeble users and push them into MS product lines. What do you think defines a SV type company?
