> People are on places where many other people are More on that idea here: [Network effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_effect#Web_sites) It's a reason so many big tech companies *hate* interoperability. Without interoperability you get locked into their system. Then they can enshittify their service to extreme levels, and you are trapped. Unfortunately there is a harmful incentive structure. The more abusive a service is, the more money it makes from its malicious but profitable aspects which we all know. Meanwhile less harmful services struggle because they lack the monetization stream.
