Not sure if that would work as users are fleeing from those big players as they don't prioritize the safety and needs of their users.
The contradictory problem is that current major corporations prioritize money at all costs even at the expense of their users so their customer base flee to the next best service/product provider.
People are currently abandoning Reddit and Twitter because their moderation system either doesn't work or has underlying contradictions to what users are asking for.
Facebook launched Threads and people only joined initially due to FOMO. With how transparent they are in harvesting user data at the expense of people's privacy I think (and hope) that people are starting to realize that this is probably not in their best interests.
I think what we're seeing is evolutionary filtration of the web similar to natural ecosystems where the species with the highest ability to adapt that survives.
Based off of one metric it seems that companies structured around proprietary software (zero-sum systems) are unsustainable. This is my untested observation however so this could be true currently but systemically wrong once examined and tested.
So the idea that
doesn't seem to make the most logical sense as the foundation for those companies is untrustworthy and unsustainable.
