Not everyone has strength of conviction he does. Companies look for the weak link, how can they buy off or stroke the ego of.

Adding some T&C’s in as OP suggested could be a good idea. Sure they can ignore it, but it’d be good to put in as many road blocks as possible to prevent the enshitification attacks that will eventually come in the distant future.

Hopefully they leave the free features as is, and don’t starting going down the road many other companies have to squeeze out profit.

I’n thinking it could happen over 20-30 yrs, they won’t collapse, but erode from where they are now.

A path to the decline could be decentralization of services combined with crypto currency. Money and infrastructure seems to be mostly what tech companies provide. Regulatory moats or other barriers to entry around payments logistics is a way they can still grip onto their positions.

Decentralized shopping, logistics (think decentralized Uber for package deliveries), and payments through crypto (BTC, stable coins, whatever), could be a path forward to break part of Amazon.

Web only services or middleman only services I think are a bit easier for them to sort of break out on their own, sort of like Lemmy and fediverse is. It’d just take longer for the quality of all of this to get better.
