@aral That is for people to decide for themselves. You could argue that the social network we're using now is the same, only less successful -
@MagnusRevang Until we have a 100 channels, all with the same business model. At which point, do we really have a choice? -
@aral We won't - on the Internet with unlimited choice it seems we gravitate towards size and unintentionally create "monopolies" -
@MagnusRevang Not unintentional, it’s called venture capital / the Silicon Valley model. Monopolies are the goal, not a side effect. -
@aral Not agreeing, we get perceived value, conseq. is that value comes from connections, amounts of data, bigger size = more value to users
