    Social media has been out of ideas since we got video chat. The fact is people want a free place on the internet to share interests with other people and communicate with them. Every company tries to figure out how to monetize it.

    So of course they’re out of ideas, they never had them in the first place. Capitalism cannot drive progress

        I agree with your main point but have either Reddit or Twitter ever been profitable?
