So like, refusing to be part of the revolution means they definitely lose, but giving into it also hurts, at least until we figure out how to generate 100B a year from AI. I don't know what the solution is but at least in the abstract, a subscription-based Internet is likely better than ad-based?

If there was a revolution, then yeah. What's going on is more like the tulip craze.

I remember when they sold cable to us around 1980, and one of the things was that it was going to be a subscription service. We were paying for it, so there weren't going to be any ads. And that lasted until they sold their first ad.
