Bruh, your not gonna believe this, but the ducks at the park are free. if you use one of these, you can download all the ducks you want. I downloaded 9000 ducks so far.
Users who don’t directly pay for a social service where user content and interaction is the business are still valuable. They share videos around, they comment, they contribute to it being the place where everything is happening. There’s a reason all these tech platform companies spent so long in the honeymoon phase of monopolization. Without the network effect of people on their platform, they have nothing.
They still need a way to overall make profit from their users, but they aren’t losing nothing by losing people who adblock.
Social media sites live or die on their contributors & users. If they make it too obnoxious even for established people to use the site, they’re going to look for alternatives.
Then the content will start to leave, and the users will follow, and then you’re like, “Sorry, I’ve never heard of Digg”.

Well said! One only needs to look at reddit for a perfect example of what happens when a platform loses it’s primary contributers.
Is Reddit not doing ok anymore?
