Here's the kicker - the moment we truly, internally commit to the product and make interesting things with it, is the moment they're gonna want to take it away and put it behind a paywall.
Or we'll be back to the Stone Age way before that.
This is how it always goes - first you make the best product you can and sell it as cheap as you can to build a customer base, and once you've got customers then you squeeze them for as much money as possible.
Their problem at the moment is they're having trouble actually getting customers on board because the product isn't very good, so it's being pushed as hard as possible. Your betters have already decided that this is their next trillion dollar product, why won't the peasants just obey?!
It's missing two step for propert enshittification.
Once the users are locked in you get the companies on board to vomit ads on the users. Then squeeze advertisers too and reduce the product to the cheapest bare minimum.
