There's a problem with this theory though, that the utility of some of these programs is in how many users (and thus content, etc) they have
So we can't really "favor products that specifically target power users" as YouTube or Google Maps alternatives -- or, rather, we could, but they'd be weaker in the polish, content, user base department (e.g. Vimeo or some advanced Maps platform)
