I wonder if it is willful collusion among all the big social media sites that they are all simultaneously becoming terrible, or if they are just all reacting to similar stimuli in identical ways.
Either way, I hope they all fucking fail. Fuck SV tech companies. Fuck ad-tech. I truly hope the federated, decentralized alternatives will rise up and not experience a horrible fracturing of ecosystems. And even if they did fracture, it's still 1000x better than surrendering all info and data to a handful of SV shitheads. Those people make me regret my computer science degree. It feels tainted by association.
As an aside remark, China was so right to not allow American social media companies to dominate their online space.
i think the clock has been ticking as the increasing unviability of advertising-based business models has become clearer. if the free market actually worked they'd all give up and fuck off and we could go back to our forums, but this is The Future! they'll wring blood from the stone yet

i work in tech and have a NDA so i can't really get into details but a lot of this is just capitalism doing what Marx said it would do. I would say it's less wifull collaboration than its people stealing each other's terrible ideas but I could be wrong since I'm not at the level where I'd be privy to those conversations.
The enshitfication of web 2.0, web 3.0 is going to be even worse.
