      It’s the shiny stuff. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind corporate accounts and instances as long as the corpos don’t steamroll everything they reach into giant advertisement panels.

      Yeah, that never happens.

        It’s mostly brand recognition/staying power. The Internet is a very scary place for normies, especially uncharted waters. Megacorps on the other hand bring a safe experience (lol) where they and their friends can hang out, chat, shop, consume etc.

          I wouldn’t mind a safe space, especially if I wanted my grandparents hang out with the extended family. There’s time and reason for watching PG rated movies and be wholesome. That’s fine.

          The thing is, people like us also want a ‘nullsec’ space to have fun exploring when they’re not hanging out with their family or coworkers. The internet being colonized by corpos meant we were losing that way.
