It has gotten really bad. At least now we know what happens when maximum engagement is the incentive structure.
I feel like we’re at a point where our relationship with big tech has become adversarial.
On open protocols when a product changes focus and starts "extracting" value from its users, you can move.
When it comes to the walled gardens meta, X, ++ have created. They can put a lot more pressure on to gain value from their users.
I’m glad to see a steady stream of people moving to open platforms.
