Even digital ad platforms were — at the time they arrived — something that promised transformative, empowering democratization of what had been out of reach.
I knew smart people who quite literally paid their rent by consistently writing and hitting “publish” on a self-hosted blog with AdWords.
And those other things — blogs, social media née microblogging, video sharing, streaming platforms, hell search engines — have gone or are going through similar arcs.
Feels a little like the arc that Email and Newsgroups took; both were transformative, neither went away, but once bad actors figured out the best ways to exploit fundamental parts of those platforms’ interaction models, it became impossible to return to What They Used To Be. Other stuff was needed.
