YouTube feels like a blog where attachment goes to the creator and you split revenue in exchange for hosting+discovery

TikTok feels like Twitter where addiction goes to the platform and creators get revenue by trying to slide people over to side hustles

What happened? Why is internet punk now all about artificially creating scarcity?

Remember when Napster was punk because it knocked down the walls of scarcity and access created by record companies?

We went from "fuck you, capitalism" to "let's make more capitalism."

What are the other markets or products that are like car rentals, where there are only 2 or 3 companies that dominate, but they have lots of little sub-brands, so consumers think it’s a more varied market than it really is? Funeral homes, what else?

Web1: typing email credentials into random apps leads to phishing & losing access to email

Web2: using OAuth/OpenID with random apps leads to sharing personal info or posting on your feed/timeline
