Re:Tyranny of the Marginal User: why software gets worse, no... by nostrademons on Thursday September 14, 2023 @01:41PM (#37512212)
The two issues are related. Focus on the marginal user is much heavier with monopolies, because a) these are usually built off of strong network effects which often leads to monopoly and b) monopolies don’t need to worry about losing their existing customers to competitors. Competitive industries often focus much more heavily on churn, and minimizing churn means keeping your existing customers happy.
