I'd extend that to the likes of Youtube, Facebook and Reddit.

THe whole ad-revenue model is crashing. These platforms used to survive because
they could get easy investor money to supply their deficencies, but now the tap
is closed and their buildings are showing cracks.

All the crazy things they are doing, like resrtictinc APIs to paying customers,
wars on adblocker and the like... it is a desperate attempt to save the little
profit they can.
