"Massive increase" I think needs a source.
And they rely on the network effect to be the de facto standard video hoster. Every little bit of that network that they carve off while they're enshittifying brings them closer to the critical point where people can afford to ditch them.
The logic that they can "afford" to lose marketshare is exactly what will make them keep losing it until people migrate en masse and they lose all of their marketshare.
Source for what? The network effect? I gave you a link, you can read.
And youtube is enshittifying.
These are both well-established effects. My sourcing is finished now. It beats your "pure speculation" unless you have something else you want to add.
Oh so you want sources for literally every tiny claim with no evidence that you've engaged at all, but you're sticking with "pure speculation" for your claims and you're fine with that? Just checking.
That's not how that works. I told you the point I had a problem with and wanted sourced, and you admitted it was pure speculation.
If you are skeptical about anything specific I'm saying, you can ask for the same thing. You didn't, you just said I hadn't sourced anything, which wasn't true, I gave you links so you could educate yourself, and since you're still confused on what any of it means, apparently you didn't do that. When I asked you what you wanted specifically sourced, you named everything, which is as pointless as naming nothing.
This is presumably because you don't actually care about sources, you were just embarrassed that you had to admit it was pure speculation and you wanted to project that back at me.
If you're actually curious to understand what I'm saying, you can ask a specific question, but you're not doing that. If you're just going to keep insisting that I'm pulling things out of my arse, you're wrong, but I won't keep replying.
I've told you how the concepts apply, if you found it confusing you could ask. You didn't.
But you've admitted you're not actually interested in my answers, you just want to accuse me of pulling things out of my arse:
I don't know why I'd bother with someone whose only point here is to tear down whatever I'm saying. You don't even seem to have a position.
Youtube is now big enough for not caring about the network effect.
Capitalism is just fucked 🤷🏻🏴☠️
What? No, the network effect is why they have a dominant position. The network effect comes from their user base.
Enshittification is how platforms die, it's not a winning business model, it's just an outworking of capitalism's contradictions.
The way you wrote that shows you don't understand the principles at all.
I could explain further but you'd have to express interest.
