it all started with these big sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, offering FREE services. This, unlike a market where you pay for everything, and many services compete over price&quality, allowed them to get so big and virtual monopolies. No one can really compete with them, since no one has the deep pockets to fund a new social media site, complete with ad campaigns, shills in the media pushing it, operate it for a decade without any profit, losing billions of dollars, only to drop the hammer later when they have a monopoly.
