Netflix cracking down on password sharing, reddit’s API changes, every streaming platform raising their prices, YouTube fighting against adblockers and potentially charging creators for visibility… the list goes on and on, and it seems to be coming from every direction all at once.

Am I missing some huge financial change in the tech investment sphere that has affected Silicon Valley (ie. freakout due to the SVB collapse)?

Or is this just a case of companies seeing each other get away with squeezing consumers, and following suit?

I fear it's the last option.

I mean, who doesn't hate Diablo Immortal, but the sheep play it in masses and it seems to pay off.

As long as most people don't care, then the providers won't bother.
