The same thing happened (and is still happening) with news media and aggregation/embedding like Google News or Facebook.

- ViscountPenguin 9mo agoI'm not sure that I'd call [2] it not working out, just like I wouldn't call the equivalent pressure from the USA to dismantle medicare our public health system not working out.
