@Lilpixieglass It is the business model of Silicon Valley, you grow fast by being nice to users and dumping as much venture capital as you can get.

Once you have a saturated market and monopoly (in case of Twitter due to the network effect), you start milking the system.

That is a very successful and profitable business model, but really bad for the economy and consumers. You can fight it with mandates on interoperability and strong monopoly controls.
