Agreed. It would be ironic if it wasn't literally the exact same arc that every single company in this industry goes through.

* Scrappy upstart catches the industry off guard * Wild success and growth * Becomes bloated, unable to innovate, and addicted to its cash cow * Begins turning the screws on its users to appease shareholders

It's all just a natural part of the enshittification progression.
