Well, Kraut of all people should know how one can change their mind in the span of a decade.
The oligarchs got scared, then they got even.
that's part of why there's saudi money in twitter
Monetization of human weaknesses. By this I mean our biased, emotional, prone-to-addiction brains being colonized for data and ad-revenue.
We let the normies into our spaces.
Well the reality is that democracy is a shitty form of government to. So the internet helps fight shitty forms of government. The problem is that the internet doesn't seem to help provide good alternatives. It is essentially indiscriminate on what replaces the currenty shitty form of government, even if the replacement then restricts the internets ability to fight the new shitty form....
That's when they noticed it could be used to topple governments and decided to use selfishly.
In a word, commercialisation.
