All market penetrators do this, bait and switch. Some people never learn. The answer is (truly) open protocols.

If that’s the answer, then what’s the question?

The protocol, open or not, isn’t all that important. If it really mattered, then XMPP and IRC would be titans of the social space.

Lots of people enjoyed using Twitter for a decade or more and they paid very little to do so. It might be a failure of a business (that’s still TBD), but it’s hard to call that a failure from the point of view of those who used it all those years.
