@oblomov @Blort @tchambers I don't think big tech entering and leaving will cause people who were here before Nov 2022 to change their behavior much. If the implication is "lack of growth is failure" then you are right but I do not share that sentiment.

Lots of free things existed for a decade or more before the web behemoths existed. We're those failures? Having worked for a company that sold a 10s of $Mns of hardware to AOL just for their Usenet and email hosting. Was Usenet or email a failure before the behemoths.
