OPINION. Non-debatable. Part 2 of 2
LOYALTY VALUE ($$$)
Those who shadowbanned and denied services will pay the ultimate cost because users on both sides will weigh in on their future value, and probably decide the "loyalty" value is/or was, subpar.
Parler has suffered probably the most as far as social media platforms are concerned due to denial of services by companies like Amazon and Gooogle, and others. However, there is talk that Parler will be back. I tend to believe that as well. WHY? Because the "loyalty" value is there. Plus, there is big money to be made with this platform - it's just getting the right players to the table.
I enjoyed the Parler. I had photography groups, religion (non-political), family, and vacation and travel sites on there. I never had that on Twitter. Twitter doesn't have the "Loyalty" value that it once enjoyed either. That is their own folly. They will probably go the way of MySpace - but time will tell. I'm not deleting them for now, but I really don't utilize their messaging. It doesn't "sell" to me.
IT'S CALLED COMPETITION.
Twitter got their butts kicked by Parler. If it isn't Parler that comes back, it will be something that Twitter won't be able to stand against. It will be self-sustaining and non-reliant on the current service providers. It does appear to be moving in that direction.
LOYALTY WHEN IT'S YOURS
There are new platforms out there, and so far they have been left alone. Probably because they are not cutting into anyone's shares or profits - yet. I have found wholesome social media experiences on MEWE and USA LIFE. They have the value that I want.
For those who think that politics have left Facebook, let me say this - "Ha!" Facebook will NOT exist without politics. Politics is the driving mechanism in the United States of America. None of the social media platforms will exist without politics. It is the driving indicator of "loyalty" value. Loyalty is not "STATIC".
BIG TECH - TOO BIG TOO FAIL?
If history is any indicator, Google and Amazon stand just as big a chance of failing as does every corporation in the world past and present. After you get to a certain point, things change. They can collapse within. It's the ever-changing dynamics of business. Move or be moved. It's not static.
Now we see Bill Gates buying up farmland in the USA - to teach people how to grow food in foreign lands - watch the markets on that one. I'm bringing out the popcorn for this one.
Here is the good news! You don't have to subscribe to politics. But it is out there for you if you want. It's good to check them all out.
