This pattern is why community run, open source and federated platforms are probably better to support than corporate run ones; it's a lot less likely the platform will make the experience worse for users to please shareholders/investors if there's no profit motive involved.

It's why I'm rooting for ActivityPub driven networks to succeed, support small bloggers that host their work on their own servers as much as possible, and help iniatives like the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance as much as possible.
