How platforms become rent-seekers and then sell out, prioritizing the mass advertiser investor. Then move towards death, happened to yahoo, happened to MySpace.
Twitter had gone to it with its subscriptions, Tumbler with its payola boost, Facebook too.

The same payola auction scheme with discovery that happened to these platforms with the same dance. I'm gonna have to check out those podcasts too.
