I start to realize how synchronized big tech is acting currently
- google experiments with blocking youtube users with ad blockers
- twitter blocks unregistered users, heavily advertises its app
- reddit blocks api and 3rd party access, heavily advertises its app
- microsoft creates windows 11 lets windows 10 users with old hardware insecure
Is this because they all act in unison? Or is it the general ecnomic situation (low prime rates by the central bank) of the American tech giants that leads them to "coincidentally" making the same decisions? My suspicion is its the latter combined with the power they accumulated over the past decade.

I think its just an arms race to capture all of your data for themselves, more data they get the more they can sell and profit off of.

Its a arms race with nukes, but they test them on their most valuable users... (besides Windows, most people contributing to Windows use Linux themselves...)

That definitely makes sense, especially now that they're seeing how valuable all that data is to train AI. Even stackoverflow is having a bit of an ordeal with their mods.

It very much feels like we've fully moved into a new phase of the locked down internet. You forgot Netflix's crackdown on password sharing, imgur deleting NSFW and anonymous content, increasingly ridiculous subscription prices (youtube tv went from $35 to $73 in 4 years). The corporations have us locked in and now it's time to squeeze.
