@quincy (I would put the timing more around 2015 or maybe 2013, TBH)

@oblomov Maybe a little bit earlier: facebook started exerting social pressure by proxy around 2010 IIRC.

@quincy oh yeah it accelerated very quickly. I put the threshold at around 2013 because that was when it went public, and interestingly it was also around the time where “smartphone” usage started getting dominant, spearheading the “app-ification” of Internet services, which shifted control even more aggressively away from the users and into the hands of the companies.

@quincy although it would make sense to put the threshold earlier, for example around 2011 which is when they stopped “playing nice” with other services like RSS.
