That's a great point. The rate in which human mind evolves clearly is not catching up with software getting more and more intelligent (doing what you want to do with software Vs what software wants you to do). Last 15 years have definitely changed how humanity is evolving, partly because decision makers/ people in control couldn't anticipate what's going to happen and partly because it took time for the general public to understand what is happening. These two phenomena always counterbalanced each other time to time. This is probably the first time in history that they coincided.

Completely agree. The day they decided to go with ads there was no coming back. It's a public company now and they have an obligation towards their shareholders. Ads -> grabbing eyeballs -> evoking reactions. It's quite impossible to balance the interests of your customers(advertisers)vis users if one of them is not paying. They are too far along to do that.
