For anyone currently suggesting Rumble as an alternative to YouTube (bc of censorship), this is the email they sent to their users yesterday. It doesn't look very promising for them either. I think they will be 'rumbling' next soon.
All the VC-funded, centralized service providers will gradually go downhill. Either because they sell out to interest groups for big money and then have to dance to their tune, or because they can't find a better business model. Advertising has never worked as a sole business model on the internet. The internet is simply not made for advertising. I've always said that. The dumbest job title is "Online Marketing Manager," an oxymoron.
So far, they have all survived through capital injections, partly from intelligence agencies and partly from large lobbies. But these groups are slowly becoming impatient and eventually want to reap some rewards. However, this will not happen through online advertising. So they will have to implement other levers and budgets and be able to classify it as state propaganda or generally "narrative building." Just like with X. Thus, legacy "social media" will slowly turn into the Orwellian brainwashing instrument that can at least be repurposed and somehow monetized.
In the long run, Nostr will be the only credible, grassroots social network. And, what I personally hope for, websites or weblogs will make a comeback. But for that, the final boss Google must be defeated. However, there are already faint signs that its decline has begun.
