Turning the internet into walled gardens was always their plan. Kill everything open and free, force everyone into their controlled spaces, then flood them with ads and noise. That was the plan from day one.
It’s really sad. They NEVER would have gotten anywhere if the internet was what they want it to be. Had the internet started as a bunch of closed spaces, the early sites would have monopolies on communication and we wouldn’t have had near as incredible a tech explosion as we had. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, none of them would have existed.
The era of open internet is coming to a close, unless the people choose to force it open.
