  So it's fair to say that effectiveness at monetization is an extremely strong evolutionary pressure on how technology evolves?

    No, something can monetize well but only for a small audience. This is what building for a niche does. What works for a niche may not match the macro trends that are at play.

        But the pressure doesn't follow monetization efficiency.
