The amount of people who go out of their way to fit their perspective to a fictional novel is mind-boggling.
We are very much in the anti-1984 of phase. 74 Million people are controlled by Q, antigovernmental conspiracy theories than government controlling them.
The nation is effectively divided (complete opposite of single control). Heck, the government couldn't even get people to follow a simple mask rule let alone complete control.
YouTube videos have a Trillions of hours of worth of videos, many of which of which will potentially change your life.
Comparing it to shitty Music Services is seriously underrepresenting it's value
sure, let me know when you can learn programming, build a house, fix a car, decide which product to buy, or some of the greatest interviews and infinitely many things that are only on YT.
Bottomline, people who don't like YouTube are seriously underutilizing it's potential to change your life, make money, learn something
Wow! Talk about Grand Delusions!. Facebook has over a 2 Billion users. You can bet they can find far superior designers than you in that sliver of A/B test population.
Yes, It's called Loser Club -- like buying Zune or Windows Phone to spite Apple. What people don't realize is that there is a non-zero cost to not be on a popular ecosystem, far greater than any perceived, ill-informed, conspiracy bullshit that they hear on the internet.
I don't think you understand what innovator's dilemma is.
Facebook is poised to crush the rest of the industry. They have the cash, talent, distribution channel and brand to do it.
Innovator's dilemma happens when
1) a low-priced, low-feature startup takes on higher-priced incumbent. High priced incumbent ignores low-priced startup.
No one can go lower than FB on pricing
2) Fear of cannibalizations (EV eating Gas-guzzlers for GM, BMW). FB has always let Insta, WhatsApp and Oculus to run like startups with plenty of freedom. Oculus is not a threat to core FB, but an enhancer.
When entities sell/promise unlimited, they expect some good faith behavior from the users.
When your neighbor says, you can borrow my tools anytime he expects some good faith from you. You cannot go to his home everyday and borrow every tool and claim, but you said "anytime"
Your local park also offers unlimited playground time. But if you start practically living there and start hogging the slides 100% of the time, there needs to be new rules.
That's how society works. Can't believe this needs to be explained.
Duck Duck Go exists because they figured out to cleverly target and market to a specific demographic using the right trigger words.
This is no different from Gold Peddlers selling to Doomer-Preppers pointing that Government is the Enemy while nicely pocketing the profits from the gullibility of their target audience
