Gregory's Server@tennoseremel This is exactly what I'm saying.
I? I don't "expect" or "want" anything (well, except for people to eat the rich maybe). I'm just showing you how the Internet collapses under economic pressures.

@tennoseremel They certainly do. And some certainly are too big for their own good. At which point they start farming and eating people. Not literally, but their data. @drq Not really. At least not everywhere and you don't really *have to* datamine people to show ads, if you go with ads. Simply show ads which are relevant to the site/article in question. @tennoseremel The less data you mine - the less money you get. The worse off you are as a service provider. It's catch-22. @drq TBH, datamined ads rarely suggest anything useful. Can't speak for everyone here, though. In any case, you don't need to earn all the money that exists, but just enough to continue doing whatever you do.  @drq @tennoseremel
"the complexity of what you do rises over time" Maybe it shouldn't :) It works for some other things. E.g. bread gets sold just as it is just fine. Same can work for news site. |
@drq It didn't yet. Maybe some things want to be too big for their own good :blobcatthinking:
