    big platforms rarely if ever die catastrophically, they just slowly whimper out. it just seems like social media in general wants to die. if you think about it deeply, they're all untenable businesses in the long run with advertising revenue sitting at the bottom of their revenue pyramid

      i think we're getting to the point where "data" isn't as economically viable as it was believed it was gonna be. There's nothing left to extract. Everyone's data is already out in the open and I don't know how well it correlates to money spent on advertisements.

      These businesses were always loss leaders with the expectations of becoming monopolies one day, and they never did.
