The fact that we don't see a couple of bad clone like sites for Youtube and reddit that are just a tiny bit less user frendly speaks volumes to me about how much greed/power these companies have over the internet..
It reminds me of when the Lolbertarians used to fight against anyone calling for anti-trust suits to be brought against YouTube, Google, Facebook, etc., and defended Big Tech censorship by saying "JuSt bUiLD yOur oWn!"
And people then when people went and did just that, payment processors had them shut down, domain hosts had them shut down, and rivals bought them out. We're now at a point of no return. Even the DoJ's anti-trust suit against Google fell dead in the water.
Google is now bigger than any sovereign government, and many Lolbertarians no longer even have a platform to spout their Left-wing-enabling nonsense like "bUiLd yoUr owN!" because they've either been forced into a quarantine of a barely-there social network rival, or locked out of social media communication altogether.
