So Google used Microsoft's "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" strategy and looks like Facebook is aiming to use ut as well
Every corp is aiming at that. It's a strategy that worked very well for MS (and the CIA).
To be fair, Microsoft didn't invent this, they only showed that it could be implemented in the tech industry. To some extent, basically every big tech company does this now.
These days, we just call it “the stages of enshitification”. And basically every large tech company is doing something like that
“Enshitification is when our preferred open social web standard gets adopted by a major corporation.”
Wat.
No, that article is full of bull shit.
