The issue is the veneer behind these IoT, Social media, Internet time wasters, and occasional productivity boosters are wearing off.

There is no competition (less VC money) to serve the community better and the real reason for these companies existing remains bare. All they want to do is monitor you, manipulate you, get your money, and kill your productivity.

The user always will lose outside of the occasional paragdim shift or productivity boost. As it stands now there is no vision to change existing platforms thus in this age the user will always lose.

There is no reason to contribute anything to the online sphere (outside of technical areas) as it is like pissing in the wind.
