The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source

They will. Because when they lose everything to his policies, he will toss them the scraps of what they once had, and they will see him as their king.
